EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) has been prepared as an instrument to
be used throughout the LDAHP implementation. The RPF will be publicly disclosed
in impacted areas to set out the resettlement and compensation policy,
organizational arrangements and design criteria to be applied to meet the needs of
the people who may be affected by the program. The Resettlement Action Plans
(“RAPs”) for the LDAHP will be prepared consistent with the provisions of this RPF.
Therefore this RPF seeks to address the adverse social impacts which may occur
relating to acquisition of land and the attendant resettlement-related impacts
which the Livestock Development and Animal Health Project (Project ID
No.P122123) may trigger.
Project Description
The Zambian Government recognizes the dual nature of the agricultural sector in
which the vast majority of small-scale farmers is resource poor, have low
production and productivity and are usually food insecure. In order to address this
problem one of the main focus by the government in the livestock sector is to
control livestock diseases, re-stocking, management and improved quality of
marketable livestock and livestock products especially in the “traditional” sector,
hence the Livestock Development and Animal Health Project (LDAHP) which the
World Bank has agreed to finance.
The project will support the Government’s efforts to: (i) improve productivity of key
production systems, namely meat and milk from cattle and small ruminants, poultry
and pig sectors; (ii) strengthen veterinary services (public and private) to better
control major animal diseases and improve food safety; and (iii) address other
identified constraints by supporting productive investments (infrastructure,
equipment, and technologies) and improve access to advisory and extension
services for producers and their organizations.
The project will prioritize the introduction of technologies that reduce livestock
mortality particularly in young stock, and improve reproductive efficiency to enable
animals to quickly reach optimum slaughter weight. This will directly lead to
productivity improvements in the smallholder livestock sector. In addition, the
project will support rehabilitation of livestock industry and veterinary services
through the provision of equipment, rehabilitation or construction of critical public
and community infrastructure, and skills training of front line animal production and
veterinary staff. The project will also improve producers’ access to services by
encouraging the formation of groups, providing essential livestock infrastructure,

and delivery of improved technology packages by Ministry field staff augmented by
Community Livestock Workers and private service providers. The project will also
support institutional capacity strengthening through logistical support and training
focused at both academic and skills training for public national institutions as well
as support for producer organizations at national level.
The IDA support will cover the major animal rearing provinces including Eastern,
Southern and Western Provinces and the designated Disease Free Zone in Central
and Lusaka Provinces. In the Northern Province the project will target the rearing of
small ruminants.
In Zambia domestic demand conditions are favorable for rapid expansion of the
livestock sector. As Zambia’s GDP per capita continues to rise, so will incomes. Even
if Zambia is unable to increase rural incomes, there is still plenty of scope for
demand to grow rapidly driven by the growing urban middle class.
Principles,Objectives and terms of preparation of the RPF
The impacts due to involuntary resettlement from development projects, may give
rise to economic, social and environmental risks resulting in production systems
being respectively affected.
In this regard this RPF seeks to describe the potential social impacts of the projects
components under the proposed project which will be small-scale and site-specific.
It has been agreed that women be a key target group and that a minimum of 30
percent women beneficiaries should be set as a project target. It is anticipated that
project activities will not lead to displacement although land acquisition or some
restriction of access to sources of livelihood may result. In this regard the project’s
activities will be screened by the environment and social specialist for applicability
of OP 4.12 (Involuntary Resettlement), based on this Resettlement Policy
Framework (RPF) prepared for the project. In the event that people are physically
or economically displaced because of the Project’s activities, a Resettlement Action
Plan (RAP) will be prepared in accordance with this RPF and requirements of
OP4.12, before the commencement of any civil works. This plan will be cleared by
the Bank, consulted upon, and disclosed. When repercussions are minor (i.e.,
affected people are not physically displaced and less than 10 percent of their
productive assets are lost) or affected people are less than 200, an Abbreviated
Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP) will be prepared and the objectives of preparing
the RPF as prescribed by provisions of the World Bank OP 4.12 shall be outlined.

FINAL DRAFT Report 9 | P a g e
Legal Framework
The RPF has discussed relevant Zambian Laws related to land administration,
ownership, land use, valuation, compensation, entitlement and procedures for
grievance redress include the Zambian Constitution, the Land Acquisition Act, the
Agricultural lands Act, the Public Roads Act, the Arbitration Act, the Environmental
Protection and Pollution Central Act, the Wildlife Act, the Local Government Act,
the Town and Country Planning Act, the Land Survey Act, and the Land Convention
of Titles Act etc.
It has further outlined the differences between the Zambian Legislations and the
World Bank OP 4.12 on the general principles of resettlement, eligibility criteria,
compensation period for expropriation and resettlement which includes :
� The World Bank OP 4.12 provision that involuntary resettlement should be
avoided as much as possible, or if not minimized with implementation of
mitigation measures to the extent possible while the Zambian Legislation
provides for repossession of land in the National Interest whenever deemed
necessary.
� The World Bank OP 4.12 provision which entitles those without formal rights
to the land they occupy to claim compensation while the Zambian legislation
provides compensation to land title holders with leases to the properties in
question.
� The Zambian legislation provides for the vacation of repossessed land as soon
as compensation has been paid contrary to the World Banks OP 4.12
provision that vacation should take place only when the necessary measures
for resettlement have been put in place.
Land Acquisition and Resettlement
During the preparation of this Resettlement Policy Framework, accurate figures on
affected land, numbers of persons and assets were not available. However, since
the project is envisaged to displace some people or assets due to implementation of
component 2, the RPF has outlined the processes to be followed in aqcuring land
and subsequent resettlement procedures as provided by World Bank OP 4.12 and
Zambian Laws.
Valuation and Compensation
Zambia has a well established valuation system which uses four methods namely ;
comparative, investment, residual and depreciated replacement cost method. This
RPF provides for the application of the Zambian Valuation Methods and
compensation wherever applicable provided they comply with the provisions of the
World Bank OP 4.12 as related to Involuntary Resettlement and that in case of
conflict, the provisions of OP 4.12 will prevail.

FINAL DRAFT Report 10 | P a g e
Programmes to Improve or Restore Livelihoods and Standards of living for Project
affected persons will include making arrangements for the provision of micro-
financial support and skills development to the PAPs.
RAPs Preparation and Implementation
When preparing each RAP, the following steps will be followed :-
� Screening for land acquisition impacts Process,
� Carrying out the affected areas’ socio-economic census, land and asset
inventory,
� Development of Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs)
� RAPs Review and Approval by Relevant Authorities.
� Implementation of the RAPs
� Monitoring of the RAPs implementation
� Reporting on progress of the implementation
It is the responsibility of relevant councils and sub-project proponents to follow the
steps outlined above in the preparation and implementation of RAPs.
Consultation and public disclosure will characterize the process of preparing and
implementing RAPs, and that the PAPs and affected stakeholders will be informed
about the LDAHP activities at the project sites.
To be successful the process of implementing sub-project RAPs after their approval
should include a Continuous Consultation process with the stakeholders and project
affected persons during the site selection, screening and the RAPs development,
affected peoples notification, assets’ documentation, compensation negotiations
and agreements, contracts preparation, and resettlement assistance provisions.
Grievance Redress Mechanisms
Affected individuals and households will have been informed of the process for
expressing their dissatisfaction and seeking redress by the time that RAPs are
approved. The grievance redress methods in Zambia include the Local Government
Organs method and the MoLFD and Local courts system.
Implementation Arrangements
The project will be implemented under the overall responsibility of MoLFD. A
Project Steering Committee, chaired by the Permanent Secretary of MoLFD, and
assisted by a Technical Committee will provide policy guidance and oversight.
Within the Ministry, a Project Coordination Office (PCO) headed by a National
Project Coordinator (NPC) will be established to ensure overall project management
and coordination and will serve as the lead implementation agency. More

FINAL DRAFT Report 11 | P a g e
specifically, the PCO will (i) prepare annual work plans and budgets (AWPB) and
consolidated project reports; (ii) develop communication and outreach strategies
and tools including guidelines and standard formats for the disbursement of grants
and M&E; (iii) pre-qualify and organize training of technical service providers for use
under Component 2, (iv) establish and undertake M&E of the Project. Coordination
at Provincial levels will be carried out by Provincial Project Coordination Offices
(PPCOs). Both PCO and PPCOs will comprise (i) civil servants from the public
administration to be assigned to the project on a full time basis, and (ii) contracted
staff in specific areas to fill technical gaps not available in the ministry.
Monitoring Arrangements
The LDAHP monitoring program mechanisms will include arrangements for
monitoring compensation and resettlement activities. In this regard, before
implementation of sub-project activities are commenced, evaluations will be made
to determine whether PAPs have been paid in full and on schedule and whether
they enjoy the same or higher living standards than those prevailing before the
project commenced. Furthermore the impacts of compensation and resettlement
activities shall be monitored using objectively verifiable indicators in order to
determine and guide improvements in the PAPs standards of living. The indicators
will quantitatively and qualitatively measure the physical and socio-economic
status of the PAPs. To accomplish this task successfully, RAPs monitoring indicators
tailored to specific site conditions will be developed.
The RPF Methodology
Both field work and desk work have been as part of the RPF Methodology. Desk
work comprised literature review. Literature review was used to gain insight into
the World Bank and Zambian policy and legal frameworks, and to review similar
work done both in Zambia and elsewhere.
Field work comprised site visits, including introductory meetings organized by
MoLFD, that also served as public meetings at provincial offices in all three sample
provinces. Other field work consisted of group meetings with the communities,
focus group discussions; and key informant and stakeholder interviews.
A detailed list of all people and organizations interacted with is contained in

Introduction
Through the recent creation of the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries Development
(MLFD), the Zambian government is increasingly recognizing the importance of the
livestock sector to economic growth and poverty reduction. Therefore the
Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) has since sort a concessionary credit
from the International Development Agency (IDA) for the Livestock Development
and Animal Health Project.
NIRAS Zambia Ltd has been assigned to prepare an Environmental and Social
Management Framework (ESMF), the Pest Management Plan (PMP) and a
Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF). Together the two frameworks and Plan will
establish a unified process for addressing all environmental and social safeguard
issues of the project. The frameworks will prescribe the process from the
preparation, through review and approval to implementation of the sub-projects
that will ensure that the substantive concerns of all World Bank (WB) safeguard
policies and relevant Zambian legislation will be adequately addressed.
The Resettlement Policy framework for the Livestock Development and Animal Health Project covers
IDA supported areas which are the major animal rearing provinces in Zambia including
Eastern, Southern and Western Provinces.
To this effect, this Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) seeks to address the
adverse social impacts relating to acquistition of Land and the attendant
resettlement-related impacts. Therefore, resettlement principles, organizational
arrangements and design criteria for the resettlement of affected persons in the
course of implementation of the Livestock Development and Animal Health Project
(LDAHP) shall be clarified. Site specific Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs), consistent
with guidelines in this RPF, will be submitted to the World Bank for approval once
specific information about land expropriation becomes available.
RESETTLEMENT POLICY FRAMEWORK PURPOSE
The implementation of the LDAHP may trigger the involuntary resettlement policy because land may
be acquired for subproject activities purposes and affected persons will need to be compensated for
loss of land, crops, housing or homes. l The World Bank OP 4.12 for Involuntary
Resettlement is triggered because the project will support construction of livestock
service centers including houses, crush pens, handling facilities, market centers, etc
that could potentially affect assets for the people especially communal grazing land
or displace some people. This Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) has therefore
been prepared to deal with such matters appropriately.
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework

FINAL DRAFT Report 13 | P a g e
Therefore, the necessity for land acquisition, compensation and resettlement of
people for the project may arise for certain categories of sub projects. When that
occurs, the World Bank Operational Policy, OP 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement
and the Government of the Republic of Zambia's relevant policies and Acts
especially the Lands Act Cap 184 and Land Acquisition Act of Cap 189 will be
triggered.
OBJECTIVES OF THE RESETTLEMENT POLICY FRAMEWORK
THE OBJECTIVES OF THE RPF HAVE TO DO WITH – AVOIDING ACQUISITION OF LAND AND ITS RELATED IMPACTS AS
FEASIBLE AS POSSIBLE OR MINIMIZING IT; WHERE NOT FEASIBLE TO AVOID THEN LAND ACQUISITION RELATED ACTIVITIES
ARE CONCEIVED AND EXECUTED AS SUSTAINABLE PROGRAMS TO ENABLE PEOPLE SHARE IN THE PROJECT BENEFITS,
CONSULTATION IS MADE AS MEANINGFUL AS POSSIBLE FOR THE PARTICIPATION OF THE AFFECTED AND THE DISPLACED
PEOPLE IF ANY ARE ASSISTED IN THEIR EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVELIHOODS OR AT LEAST RESTORE TO PRE-PROJECT
LEVELS.RESETTELEMENT POLICY FRAMEWORK PRINCIPLES AND STRATEGIES
2.3.1 RPF Principles
In line with the World Bank’s involuntary Resettlement Policy OP 4.12, the Zambian
Government is required to prepare the Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) to be
disclosed before project appraisal. The guidelines contained in this RPF are based on
relevant Zambian legislation and World Bank Policy on involuntary resettlement and
land acquisition, which recognizes compensation for loss of assets or income as a
fundamental right of all project affected persons.
According to the Bank Policy, ‘affected people’ refers to the people who are directly
affected socially and economically by Bank assisted investment projects causing:
� involuntary alienation of land and other assets resulting in:
- Relocation or loss of shelter,
- Loss of assets or access to assets; and
- Loss of income sources or means of livelihood whether or not the
affected persons must move to another location or not.
Therefore due to the nature of the project the subproject activities for the LDAHP
implementation will necessitate land acquisition for the construction of
infrastructure such as spray races, livestock centres etc resulting in the resettlement
and compensation of displaced people. This RPF will establish resettlement and
compensation guidelines and design criteria to be applied to the sub-projects which
will be prepared during project implementation in compliance with the Zambian law
and the World Bank’s policy on involuntary resettlements. The following are some
guidelines which should be followed in the implementation of this RPF and the
Resettlement Action Plans:
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 14 | P a g e
� The RPF applies to all components under the project, whether or not they are
funded in whole or part by the Bank.
� The policy also applies to displaced persons regardless of the total number
involved, severity of the impact, ethnicity, race or colour, whether or not
they have legal right or claim to the land they are occupying, and those who
may not be protected through the Zambian .compensation legislation.
� Where feasible, involuntary resettlement and land acquisition should be
avoided or minimized by exploring all viable alternatives.
� Where relocation or loss of shelter occurs, measures to assist displaced
persons should be implemented in accordance with a plan of action for
resettlement and compensation.
� The planning and implementation of the resettlement process will be
conducted in a consultative manner with those to be displaced.
� Absence of legal title to land should not be a basis for denying compensation
and Resettlement assistance.
� Displacement or restriction to access should not occur before necessary
measures for resettlement and compensation are in place. Apart from
compensation, these measures should include provision of other assistance
required for relocation, prior to displacement, and preparation and provision
of settlement sites with adequate basic facilities.
� The displaced must be relocated to areas with basic amenities like schools,
potable water, health facilities, etc.; and all affected persons and
entrepreneurs or institutions should be assisted to restore their incomes and
livelihood sources to at least pre-resettlement levels. Particular attention will
be paid to the needs of the elderly, women and children, the handicapped,
and the landless, among other vulnerable groups.
� Wherever possible, those impacted by involuntary resettlement should be
considered for employment in various project activities including
construction works and provision of other services.
According to the World Bank, vulnerable groups such as the elderly and women-
headed households should be entitled to a special benefit package in addition to
compensation entitlement.
2.3.2 RPF Strategies
The following RPF strategies will be adopted:
� Resettlement activities will be a participatory process guided by informed
participation.
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 15 | P a g e
� Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs) will be produced in the national local
languages spoken in the project sites namely Tonga in Southern Province,
Lozi in Western Province, Nyanja, Chewa, Ngoni in Eastern Province etc. The
RAPs will be made available by MoLFD, the Provincial Administration or Local
government to those involved and upon request.
� RAPs will describe all measures for restoration of the livelihoods of affected
persons and will include an annual budget for implementation of
resettlement and other related activities.
� All affected people will be entitled to compensation for lost assets. They will
be paid a replacement cost agreed between themselves and MoLFD. The
compensation will be based on the valuation done by either the Government
Valuator from the Ministry of Local Government and Housing or Private
Valuation Firm, and will either be the market value or other value dependent
on negotiations between the two parties and witnessed by a third party.
� Whenever possible, land for land, as close as possible to the homestead
should be provided as part of compensation.
� Ownership of the compensated land/or property will be transferred to the
state or sub-project beneficiaries by agreement.
� If the affected land is under tenancy, both the landowners and tenants as
affected persons will be eligible for compensation and entitlements.
� Compensation for loss of potential crops and trees should be calculated as
annual net product value multiplied by the number of years for a new crop to
start producing.
� The seriously affected people should be at least well off, if not better off,
than they were before the project.
� Mechanisms will be developed to protect the economically and socially
vulnerable.
� Priority for employment arising from project activities will be given to
affected persons loosing assets.
� A functional mechanism for resolving conflict arising out of the resettlement
process will be established.
THE RPF METHODOLOGY
The preparation of this RPF involved a multi pronged approach in order to address
all issues surrounding the provisions of the Terms of Reference (TOR). Both field
work and desk work were employed. Desk work comprised literature review.
Literature review was used to gain insight into the World Bank and Zambian policy
and legal framework, and to review similar work done both in Zambia and
elsewhere in the sub-region.

Field work comprised site visits to some of the existing and proposed LSCs sites in
Eastern, Western and Southern Provinces, including introductory meetings
organized by MoLFD, that also served as public hearings at selected sites serving as
being representative of each particular province. Other field work consisted of
group meetings with the communities, focus group discussions; and key informant
and stakeholder interviews.
Among the stakeholders contacted were several Government Ministries and
Departments including Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, Ministry of
Livestock & Fisheries Dvelopment, Ministry of lands, Ministry of Local Government
& Housing and Ministry of Health.; Road Development Agency (RDA); the Zambia
Environmental Management Agency (ZEMA), the Resettlement Department in the
Office of the Vice President, the relevant Municipal and District Councils, Non-
Governmental Organizations; and community based organizations. A detailed list of
all people and organizations interacted with is contained in Annex 1 attached.

Project description
BACKGROUND
Zambia has long sought for ways to diversify its economy away from the reliance on
copper to foster broad based economic growth and the livestock sector offers the
best opportunity to achieve this. The livestock sector in Zambia can take full
advantage of its natural resources and favorable market prospects to drive the
diversification agenda. The livestock industry has also a strong bearing on poverty-
stricken communities, either directly through the provision of produce and services
such as animal draught power and transport or indirectly through the provision of
employment and wealth. With the creation of a new Ministry of Livestock and
Fisheries Development, the Government of the Republic of Zambia has
acknowledged the importance of the sector and commitment to supporting sector
development.
Therefore, the importance of the Livestock sector is highlighted through recent
survey results which reveal that approximately 45% of the rural population own
livestock and animal sales alone account for 26% of rural household income, higher
than that contributed by field crops (21%). Among livestock owning households,
cattle are owned by 310,000 households (CSO, FSRP Survey 2006/07, 2008/09).
Suffice to mention that the livestock sector contributes significantly to the
agricultural industry in Zambia. It provides outputs such as meat, milk, eggs, hides,
skins, manure and draught power. The sector also generates employment
opportunities and income among the rural people. Through animal draught power
and manure, it contributes directly to increased and sustainable crop production,
thus contributing to increased agricultural production. However,the productivity of
livestock, particularly in the traditional sector, is constrained by several factors
including the prevalence of animal diseases; non availability of veterinary drugs;
high cost of veterinary drugs; inadequate livestock nutrition and water; poor animal
husbandry practices/management; inadequate marketing infrastructure; lack of
appropriate livestock research; inadequate livestock extension and health services;
lack of linkages between livestock research and livestock extension.
The importance of draught power to the economy was recently highlighted in the
crop forecasting in 2010, with cereal production estimated to go up in response to
good weather conditions and availability of healthy draught animals which allowed
for an expansion of crop acreage.
Cognisant of all these is the fact that despite Government support and the
recognition of the considerable potential for increased livestock production, Zambia
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework

FINAL DRAFT Report 18 | P a g e
is reputedly to be the most animal disease stricken country in the SADC region,
registering in 2008 and 2009, registered incidents of all animal disease, especially
FMD and East Coast Fever. Increasing concern about the economic and financial
costs of disease outbreaks on household and the economy has led the Government
of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) to propose the establishment of a Disease Free
Zone (DFZ) in the Central Province which has, until now remained relatively free of
major animal diseases.
Therefore, in order to address some of these challenges the overall objectives of the
livestock sector as highlighted in the National Agricultural Policy (2004 -2015) are;
(i) To adapt relevant and sustainable diagnostic techniques to support the
control and eradication of diseases and vectors of national importance.
(ii) To develop and improve disease surveillance and outbreak investigation
methodologies.
(iii) To facilitate private sector involvement in providing complementary diagnostic
services to farmers.
(iv) To conduct investigations on the nutritional status of livestock in the
traditional sector and recommend appropriate mitigation measures and use
of crop residues/agro-industrial by-products for enhanced crop production.
(v) To conduct range and pasture management surveys in agroecological zones of
Zambia.
(vi) To conduct characterization of indigenous livestock breeds and promote their
conservation.
To this effect therefore, the GRZ has since sort a concessionary credit from the
International Development Agency (IDA) for the Livestock Development and Animal
Health Project.
The project is aimed at providing support to the government in improving the
productivity of key production systems, namely meat and milk from cattle and small
ruminants, and from pig and poultry sectors. It will specifically strengthen the
veterinary services (public and private) to better control major animal diseases and
improve food safety. It will also tackle other identified constraints by supporting
productive investments (infrastructure, equipment, and technologies) and
improving access to advisory and extension services for the producers and their
organizations. This will directly lead to productivity improvements in the
smallholder livestock sector.
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 19 | P a g e
The project will therefore support the following;
1. The rehabilitation of animal health and veterinary services by the provision
of equipment,
2. Rehabilitation or construction of critical public and community infrastructure
3. Skills training of front line animal production and veterinary staff.
It is however, important to note that the International Development Agency (IDA)
support will only cover the major animal rearing provinces including Eastern,
Southern and Western Provinces and the designated Disease Free Zone (DFZ) if the
cost benefit analysis will deem this feasible.
The major part of the scope of work for this RFP consists of identifying individuals or
groups that potentially could be affected by the implementation of the LDAHP in
the provinces and structuring a framework within which these people can be
compensated.
PROJECT COMPONENTS
The LDAHP activities will be organized around the following proposed components
and their sub-projects which are briefly described below:
3.2.1 Component 1: Strengthening the Veterinary Services and Support to the
Progressive Zoning Approach,
This component will support the strengthening of Veterinary Services, achieving a
good balance between public and private sector as well as between professional
and paraprofessional staff, as defined by the World Organization for Animal Health
(OIE). It will build on the evaluation of the performance of the Veterinary Services
(PVS) using the PVS Tool, that was carried out in July 2008 by the OIE and the
subsequent Gap Analysis conducted recently where national priorities were
defined.
In addition, this component would support the improvement of competitiveness of
smallholder –based livestock production systems, food safety and hygiene along the
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 20 | P a g e
meat supply chain linking producers, slaughterhouses and local meat markets; and
environmental management of livestock waste.
The objectives of the component are to: (i) strengthen the zoonotic and contagious
animal diseases surveillance and control systems, and (ii) improve the capacity to
monitor food safety of facilities (slaughterhouses, milk collection centers etc) in the
project areas.
This component will support the following activities:
3.3.2 Sub- Component 1.1 : Strengthening the surveillance and control of
zoonotic and contagious animal diseases:
This activity will support the strengthening of passive and active surveillance
systems for zoonotic and major contagious animal diseases and scale-up
vaccinations against major diseases. It will provide support to pre-defined disease
control strategies including vaccination campaigns and progressive zoning
approach, in collaboration with the private sector. This activity will also help
establish a network of community animal health workers who will provide a first call
service to producers’ groups in the chain of animal health services provision. The
community animal health workers will be directed by a responsible public or
mandated private veterinarian. This activity will provide short-term training,
logistical support and equipment to decentralized Veterinary offices (Provincial and
District Veterinary Camps), as well as develop and support mechanisms for
establishment of private veterinarians in rural areas. It will consolidate and scale up
the national disease information system through training and Information
Technology equipment.
3.3.3 Sub-Component 1.2 Building capacities for laboratory diagnostic:
Based on the recommendations of a pre-conducted needs assessment and gap
analysis to develop a national laboratory network development plan, this activity
will: (i) support laboratories infrastructure improvement, (ii) provide equipment,
material and consumables, (iii) fund training of laboratories staff, and (iv) develop
and implement a quality management system to access accreditation for specific
tests.
3.2.4. Sub-Component 1.3 Improving food safety capacities and control of
veterinary medicinal products distribution:
This activity will assist the MoLFD in strengthening the collaboration with the
Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Zambia Bureau of Standards (ZABS) to ensure
implementation of hygiene standards based on the Food and Drugs Act to regulate
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 21 | P a g e
facilities such as slaughterhouses and organize training and public awareness
campaigns for the private sector (farmers, processors, transporters, traders, etc and
inspectors from both Ministries (MoLFD and MoH) on standards enforcement. It
will also support the joint development and implementation of surveillance plans to
monitor residues, Brucellosis, Salmonellosis, etc. and to control veterinary drugs
distribution in collaboration with the private sector.
3.3 Component 2: Productive investments and access to services for producers
and Organizations.
The main focus of this component will be to support investments for the producers
and their organizations aiming at increasing the productivity of the identified
production systems. It will include key infrastructure, on a demand-driven basis and
with clear management schemes, equipment and technologies. The component will
also aim at building capacities for effective delivery of services and technologies.
The objective of the second component is to improve productivity of identified
production systems through support to investments with the aims of supporting the
Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries Development (MoLFD) to establish key livestock
infrastructure and access to livestock services. This component is aimed at the
establishment of Livestock Service Centres (Tier 1, 2 and 3), and other essential
livestock industry infrastructure (markets, slaughter facilities, etc.) in agreed
locations and will also aim at establishing livestock breeding programs and
preservation of livestock genetic materials. The main thrust of breeding programs is
the establishment of species specific livestock breeding centres around the country
and the main activities will include the construction of breeding infrastructure,
identification of suitable breeds for Zambia, importation of quality breeding stock,
enhancing nutrition research in local fodder range management and promotion of
animal health.
In order to increase productivity and a high livestock service delivery system,
livestock production service centres will be established. A Livestock Service Centre
(LSC) is a one-stop shop where farmers will be able to access services that will lead
to improved livestock husbandry such as vaccinations, castrations, de-honing,
spraying, branding or artificial insemination. In turn Government will use these LSCs
as data capture points for monitoring trends in the livestock population, which
information will feed into informed decision making. These LSCs will be at three
levels or tiers as follows.
3.3.1 TIER I SERVICE CENTRES
Tier 1 LSCs will have a cattle crush pen, a holding pen, watering point, closed circuit
spray race and two (2) improved ventilated pit latrines. The key feature of this type
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 22 | P a g e
of service centre is that they will be community based and unmanned. The
simplicity of the infrastructure to be constructed at this level implies that it is
possible to have several of them built in one camp. The operational modality of this
level of service centre is that farmers will trek their animals to the service centre on
pre-selected days for purposes of accessing various livestock services. The livestock
and/or veterinary assistant will travel to the centre to offer these services. At the
close of business, both the farmers and the Livestock or Veterinary assistant will go
back to their respective stations leaving the centre 'unmanned'.
3.3.2 TIER 2 SERVICE CENTRES
Tier 2 LSCs will have all the features in tier I, but in addition will have weighing
scales, off-loading bays, 2 camp/staff houses, office accommodation and store
roomand a training shed. It will also have livestock demonstration facilities such as
pasture/forage plots and simple, on-farm feed mixing equipment. Because of the
relative complexity of this level of service centre it may not be possible to have
more than one in each camp.
3.3.3 TIER 3 SERVICE CENTRES.
Tier 3 LSCs will have all the features in tier 2, but will in addition have a marketing
component. The center will also have a training facility/dormitories, biogas digester,
agro-meteorological station, demonstration structures (goat housing, pig pens,
poultry pens/housing), sustainable pasture development and rangeland
management plots, 4 improved ventilated pit latrines. Other inclusions will be
proper landscaping, external drainage system and waste management area. The
marketing component will have a cattle observation terrace and catwalk erected
near the holding pen. Marketing of livestock will be conducted on pre-selected
dates and not on a daily basis following the market centres model of Eastern
Province. The service centres will be constructed throughout the country starting
first with areas in which concentrations of livestock are high. This program will
require strong local community involvement in site selection.
This component wil improve productivity of identified production systems through
support to investments. In the smallholder sector the priority would be on
introducing technologies that reduce livestock mortality particularly in young stock,
improve reproductive efficiency and enable animals to reach optimum slaughter
weight more quickly. Producers’ access to services and markets would be improved
through group formation, provision of essential livestock infrastructure, and the
delivery of improved technology packages by Ministry field staff augmented by
Community Livestock Workers and private service providers. More specialist
advisory services and technical packages would be made available to emergent
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 23 | P a g e
farmers. Support would also be provided for range and pasture improvement and
utilization and dry season feeding technologies.
3.3.4 Sub-Component 2.1 Support To The MoLFD And Local Councils To Establish
Key Livestock Infrastructure And Access To Livestock Services:
This activity will support the MoLFD and Local Authorities to establish or
rehabilitate essential livestock industry infrastructure (e.g., Livestock Service
Centres1, markets, slaughter facilities, etc.) in agreed locations after a full
Infrastructure Inventory and Needs Assessment has established that there is a clear
need or public good requirement which is not being met by private sector
investment. Management of such publically owned infrastructure would be by
contractual arrangement with the private sector where possible and appropriate.
3.3.5 Sub-Component 2.2 Support to livestock producers/stakeholders for
productive and market enhancing investments:
A Livestock Improvement Grant Facility (LIGF) will be established and accessed by
eligible smallholder producers in groups or cooperatives as well as other livestock
industry stakeholders for the establishment of productive livestock investment
packages. These may include inter alia essential infrastructure (e.g., communal
cattle handling facilities, milk collection centers, feedlots etc), enhanced genetic
merit livestock (e.g., grade dairy cattle, pigs, goats), access to improved services
(e.g., veterinary, AI, Community Livestock Worker training) marketing and value
addition activities.
3.3.6 Sub-Component 2.3 Support to pasture and range improvement and
utilization:
The project is intended to offer small grants to achieve this with the emphasis on
practical range improvement measures and on-farm adaptive research, and
innovative extension and demonstration packages. This would also include
improved dry season utilisation of crop residues. Adoption of grass/fodder
production methods by farmers would be facilitated by the LIGF. Moreover linkage
with other Bank-funded agricultural projects, such as Agriculture Development
Support Project (ADSP) and Irrigation Development and Support Project (IDSP) shall
be encouraged to increase and diversify crop production activities.
3.4 Component 3 : Institutional Capacity Building.
The third component of the LDAHP aims at improving the capacities of key national
institutions in the livestock sector to improve operational efficiency, deliver
advisory services

and technologies to enhance the adoption of good husbandry practices and
innovative technologies, subsector planning and monitoring and evaluation. The
component will aim at reinforcing institutions and building staff capacities for the
newly created MoLFD to be able to carry out its core public responsibilities and
enhance its collaboration with other Ministries (i.e. Agriculture and Cooperatives,
Finance and National Development Planning, Home affairs, Health and
Environment, Tourism and Natural Resources). It will also provide support to the
development and implementation of key policy options, institutional reforms or
review of the legislative framework.
This component will therefore assist the MoLFD in the livestock sector monitoring
and evaluation process by improving its capacity to collect and analyze reliable data
and monitor the sector performance. Where appropriate, for each sub-component
and activity, relevant support will include enhancement of human resources mainly
through training, provision of equipment and vehicles and rehabilitation of old or
construction of new buildings.
Suffice to mention that the project will specifically strengthen the veterinary
services (public and private) to better control major animal diseases and improve
food safety. It will also tackle other identified constraints by supporting productive
investments (infrastructure, equipment, and technologies) and improving access to
advisory and extension services for the producers and their organizations. This will
directly lead to productivity improvements in the smallholder livestock sector.
3.4.1 Sub – Component 3.1 Institutional support to MoLFD.
This sub-component will ensure the strengthening of the staff capacities of the
newly created MoLFD to assist in carrying out its core public responsibilities
including extension and advisory services, sector monitoring and evaluation, sector
analysis, policy preparation and implementation. Key activities will include: (i) the
realization of a comprehensive needs assessment and training plan for the Ministry
as a pre-requisite to training activities
3.4.2 Sub-Component 3.2 Strengthening capacities of producers’ organizations.
The sub-component will aim at increasing the representation of small-scale
producers and emergent farmers in key national livestock organizations such as the
Poultry Association of Zambia (PAZ), the Dairy Association of Zambia (DAZ) and the
two Commodity Committees (cattle and pigs) of the Zambian National Farmers
Union (ZNFU). A provision will be included in the project to co-finance activities
which will specifically contribute to improved advisory, advocacy and information

services for small-scale producers and emergent farmers. Activities will be
implemented on a competitive and cost-sharing basis based on detailed
development plans presented by targeted organizations.
3.4.3 Sub-Component 3.3 Project Management.
The objective of the sub-component will be to ensure efficient and timely delivery
of project resources in accordance with the project’s objectives. It will support the
establishment, operation, equipment and training of project coordination offices at
both national and provincial levels, as well as the operational costs of the national
Project Steering Committee and the Technical Committee.
3.5 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED LIVESTOCK SERVICE CENTRE UNDER LDAHP
3.5.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The establishment of livestock Service Centres throughout Zambia is one of the
strategies by MoLFD to improve livestock production and productivity in the
country. It is envisaged that these service centres will assist farmers sustainably and
appropriately manage their livestock service centres that will ensure that farmers
do not fail to make profit from the high quality breeding stock obtained from
breeding centres or from any other source.
Therefore the preparation of this RPF is based on component 2 of the project. The
component is aimed at providing key livestock infrastructure investment and access
to livestock services through establishment of Livestock Service Centres (LSCs).
3.5.2 DEFINITION OF LIVESTOCK SERVICE CENTRES
A Livestock Service Centre is a one-stop facility (OSF) for offering livestock extension
services to farmers at camp and district levels. The objective of establishing LSCs is
to bring the delivery of livestock extension services closer to the farmers with a
view to facilitating improved livestock production and productivity, disease control
and marketing of livestock and livestock products.
Suffice to mention that the main aim of establishing LSCs is therefore, to improve
livestock service delivery through enhanced better management and formal
marketing of livestock and livestock products especially amongst the small and
medium scale livestock farmers.
3.5.3 LOCATIONS AND LEVELS/TIERS OF LSCs.
These LSCs are to be sited in agreed central locations to enable farmers’ access
extension services at predetermined periods and have been categorised at three
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 26 | P a g e
levels or tiers as described in details in section 2 and Table 1 below of this RPF. The
proposed locations of these LSCs will be as follows;
� Tier 1/ LSC 1 : The LSC at this level will only have basic infrastructure and is
intended to be located within the community or village within Livestock or
veterinary Camp. The centre is estimated to be constructed on a 1 hectare
or less piece of land in extent to allow for future expansions.
� Tier 2/ LSC 2: These will have additional infrastructure to level 1 and is
intended to include the camp officer’s residence. The proposed total land
extent required to accommodate all the structures for this type of LSCs is
also 1 hectare.
� Tier 3/ LSC 3: The centres at Tier 3 will have all infrastructures found in both
level1 and 2 centres. These centres will be offering services similar to the
current Farmers Training Institute (FTI) or Farmers Training Centres (FTCs).
Some FTI/FTCs or existing Livestock Marketing Centres such as Chipata and
Petauke Marketing Centres are actually to be utilized as Tier 3 centres after
constructing some additional structures. These centres due to the type and
number of structures required would require approximately 4 hectares of
land

Figure 1: Provinces and Districts Earmarked for the Implementation of the
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project in Zambia.
Suffice to mention that the IDA support will cover the major animal rearing
provinces including Eastern, Southern and Western Provinces and the designated
Disease Free Zone. The Northern Province will target the rearing of small
ruminants. However, the project is intended to cover all the provinces as indicated
in Figure 1 above.
Therefore given time constraints only two districts in each of the three sample
provinces have been selected as sample districts to be representative of other
districts in each particular province (see Table 2 below). The sampled districts were
selected on the basis of all or some of the following criteria: vector distribution,
cattle population, dip tank and crush pen/spray race distribution, livestock/wildlife
interactions, human/wildlife conflict and distribution of existing facilities (such as
slaughter houses and livestock service centers as shown in Figure 2 below).

3.6 Farming Systems and Livelihoods
The site vists of the sample districts will help to identify the type of farming systems
and livelihoods which is predominant in each province in order to help in defining
within the RAP how the displced people will be compensated and how the
resettlement will be conducted in compliance with the provisions of the world Bank
safeguard Policy on Involuntary Resettelment.
3.7 Infrastructure and Services
Since the RPF’s main objective is to identify the impacted persons with assets to be
compensated before the project is implemented. The infrastructure and services
need to be assessed in the project area so that during the RAP implementation the

PAPs are provided with similar or better facilities in the area where they are going
to be resettled.
Identification of infrastructure and services is also important for components 1 and
2 of the project since livestock centers would require existance of some services
and other support structures.
3.8 Main Social Issues/Impacts
Anticipated social issues or impacts arising from the implementation of the project
include the following:-
� Land will have to be acquired for livestock infrastructure.
� People may lose communal assets such as grazing land and individual
gardens due to land required for building Livestock centres or for the
expansion of the existing LSCs.
� Water use. Use of water for dip tanks may compete with other domestic uses
within the livestock centre premises.
� Immigration Influx of people into the new area from the location of the
subproject to pave way for the implementation of the LDAHP subproject will
mean increased market for commodities but also increased crime and
HIV/AIDS exposure.
3.8.1 Land Tenure
The land ownership in most of the potential or proposed LSCs at tier 1 and 2 levels
is under traditional/customary tenure. Access to such land is through the village
headman on behalf of the chief in the area. It was established through formal field
interviews and discussions in the three provinces that in most communities land to
accommodate the LSCs is either reserved by the community or has an existing/
disused crush pen point.
However, some of the potential or allocated sites may be smaller than the required
size of land for the required type of LSCs. In that case consolidation of some village
plots or relocation to other site areas where land might be available to support the
project may be considered. The existing LSCs under this arrangement have no
specific land extent defined and boundaries are not defined. This may be a
challenge in terms of enchrochment of the site by other land users.
Tier3 LSCs as opposed to tier 1 and 2 are to be located in each district and has to be
centrally located to be easily accessible and visible to farmers. Therefore these
types of centres shall be constructed on statutory leasehold type of tenure which
should have clear Certificate of Title Deed with well defined boundaries and actual

plot size. Chipata, Katete and Petauke Livestock and Marketing centres in Eastern
Province are examples.
3.8.2 Role Of Community
The construction and selecting of the sites for the LSCs is supposed to involve the
community. The chief, village headman and local villagers should be sensitized
about LSCs and how they will be operated and managed. The Livestock Service
Centre Committees should be constituted from within the members of the
community and contribution of building materials such as sand and labour should
be their role. This approach is what was used in Eastern and Southern Provinces for
the existing centres at tier 1 and 2 levels. For Example the Chiparamba, Pellete and
Chikalakwa crush panes in Chipata and Petauke were constructed by the members
of the respective commmnuities.

DESCRIPTION OF WORLD BANK SAFEGUARD POLICY ON
INVOLUNTARY RESETTLEMENT .
INVOLUNTARY RESETTLEMENT POLICY (OP/BP 4.12)
The involuntary resettlement under development projects, if unmitigated, often
gives rise to severe economic, social, and environmental risks: production systems
are dismantled; people face impoverishment when their productive assets or
income sources are lost; people are relocated to environments where their
productive skills may be less applicable and the competition for resources greater;
community institutions and social networks are weakened; kin groups are
dispersed; and cultural identity, traditional authority, and the potential for mutual
help are diminished or lost. This policy includes safeguards to address and mitigate
these impoverishment risks.
Policy Objectives
Involuntary resettlement may cause severe long-term hardship, impoverishment,
and environmental damage unless appropriate measures are carefully planned and
carried out. For these reasons, the overall objectives of the Bank’s policy on
involuntary resettlement are;
(a) Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible, or minimized,
exploring all viable alternative project designs.
(b) Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities should
be conceived and executed as sustainable development programs, providing
sufficient investment resources to enable the persons displaced by the
project to share the project benefits.Displaced persons’ should be
meaningfully consulted and have opportunities to participate in planning
and implementing resettlement programs.
c) Displaced persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their
livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them, in real terms,
to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to beginning of
project implementation,whichever is higher.’
Impacts
This policy covers direct economic and social impacts that both result from Bank-
assisted investment projects and are caused by:
(a) the involuntary’ taking of land* resulting in:
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 39 | P a g e
(i) relocation or loss of shelter;
(ii) loss of assets or access to assets; or
(iii) loss of income sources or means of livelihood, whether or not the
affected persons must move to another location.
(b) the involuntary restriction of access’to legally designated parks and
protected areas resulting in adverse impacts on the livelihoods of the
displaced persons.
This policy applies to all components of the project resulting in involuntary
resettlement regardless of the source of financing. It also applies to other activities
resulting in involuntary resettlement, which, in the judgement of the Bank are:
(a) directly and significantly related to the Bank-assisted project;
(b) necessary to achieve its objectives as set forth in the project documents, and
(c) carried out, or planned to be carried out contemporaneously with the
project.
4.1.3 Policy requirements
To address the impacts covered under this policy, the borrower prepares a
resettlement plan or a resettlement policy framework that covers the following:
(a) The resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures
to ensure that the displaced persons are:
(i) Informed about their options and rights pertaining to resettlement;
(ii) Consulted on, offered choices among, and provided with technically
and economically feasible resettlement alternatives; and
(iii) provided prompt and effective compensation at full replacement
cost” for losses of assetsi attributable directly to the project.
(b) If the impacts include physical relocation, the resettlement plan or
resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the
displaced persons are:
(i) Provided assistance (such as moving allowances) during relocation;
and
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 40 | P a g e
(ii) Provided with residential housing, or housing sites, or, as required,
agricultural sites for which a combination of productive potential,
locational advantages and other factors is at least equivalent to the
advantages of the old site;
(c) Where necessary to achieve the objectives of the policy, the resettlement
plan or resettlement policy framework also include measures to ensure that
displaced persons are:
(i) Offered support after displacement, for a transition period, based on
a reasonable estimate of the time likely to be taken to restore their
livelihood and standards of living. Such support could take the form
of short-term jobs, subsistence support, salary maintenance or
similar arrangements; and
(ii) Provided with development assistance in addition to compensation
measures described above, such as land preparation, credit facilities,
training, or job opportunities.

PRINCIPLES AND OBJECTIVES GOVERNING RESETTLEMENT
PREPARATION AND IMPLEMENTATION
A fundamental principle and objective of the MoLFD collaborating in the LDAHP
project is to minimize as fully as possible the extent of land acquisition and land-use
change and to mitigate to as fully as possible the adverse impacts of all unavoidably
necessary land acquisition and involuntary resettlement. Minimization of
resettlement and mitigation of its unavoidable consequences require careful
planning and conscientious implementation. When the details of land acquisition
and involuntary resettlement are fully known, a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) can
be defined to provide an implementation guide for the operation. When, however,
the details of land acquisition and involuntary resettlement are not fully known, a
Resettlement Policy Framework that establishes the policy principles for the
development of specific RAPs is developed for public information and discussion.
When, subsequently, the outline of each initiative is known and is sufficient detail, a
RAP can and will be developed for that operation, given the framework agreed
upon in this RPF. Both respective country laws and the World Bank’s OP 4.12 should
be adhered to.

RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLAN PREPARATION, REVIEW AND
APPROVAL
The World Bank policy on Involuntary Resettlement OP4.12 is triggered because the
LDAHP project will finance productive investments under component 2 that may
require the involuntary taking of land, other assets or economic impact. Since the
location of these areas were not known at the time of the preparation of the
project, the preparation and disclosure of this RPF by the World Bank and
governments of Zambia is a conditionality for appraisal of this project. However,
during implementation of this project, in a process defined here below, the
identification of these areas will be made. When that happens, land will be acquired
and people will be affected. At that stage, OP4.12 calls for the preparation of
individual RAPs that must be consistent with this RPF.
COMPLIANCE WITH WORLD BANK SAFEGUARD ASSESSMEENT
According to the World Bank Operational Policies on involuntary resettlement,
preparation of a resettlement instrument is a condition for appraising projects
involving involuntary resettlement. In case of programs/projects with sub-projects,
the Bank requires that a satisfactory resettlement plan or an abbreviated
resettlement plan that is consistent with the provisions of the policy framework be
submitted to the Bank for approval before the subproject is accepted for Bank
financing (WB OP 4.12).
People who are affected and are eligible will have to be compensated before any
implementation is commenced as per World Bank OP 4.12 and this RPF. The
acquisition of land and the related assets may take place only after the displaced
persons have been paid compensation; and resettlement sites and moving
allowances, where applicable, provided. It is also a requirement of the WB OP 4.12
policy that measures to assist the displaced persons be implemented as per the sub-
project’s resettlement plan of action, where there is loss of shelter and need for
relocation.
Resettlement Action Plans which would be prepared for each sub-project involving
compensation or resettlement shall include measures to ensure compliance with
this policy directives. Furthermore, the implementation schedule of these policy
measures should ensure that no individual or affected household would be
displaced by sub-project’s civil works activity before compensation is paid and
resettlement sites with adequate facilities prepared and provided to them.
The process of preparing and approval of the Resettlement Action Plan is outlined in
the Figure 3 below.

COMPLIANCE WITH ZAMBIAN PLANNING AND RESETTLEMENT LEGAL FRAMEWORKS
The Town and Country Planning Act provides for the control of Development and
sub-division of land in state land areas. It therefore follows that if the RAPs are to
be planned and implemented on state lands, then the provisions of this Act would
have to be complied with.
SCOPE OF RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLANS
Overall responsibility for preparing a resettlement action plan for each sub project
will lie with the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries Development (MoLFD). The
MoLFD shall ensure that a Resettlement Action Plan that conforms to this RPF and
to the requirements of the World Bank OP 4.12 is prepared. The RAP is a detailed
time bound plan of action plan outlining the following among others :- resettlement
objectives, strategic options, responsibilities, approvals, entitlements, actions; and
monitoring and evaluation. The process to be followed in preparing a RAP shall
involve several steps as outlined in the following sections.
Preliminary Assessments of a Sub-project
The proponent of a sub project shall examine whether any environmental study is
required for the type of sub project being proposed. The initial assessments and
surveys at this stage should include (i) potential social impacts, (ii) direct
consultations with individuals and groups who are expected to be directly affected
by the sub-project activities; and (iii) identification of the major population groups
that may be affected by the proposed project. These surveys and assessments at
this preliminary stage would form the basis for preparing the terms of reference for
the RAPs Social Assessment Component.
Preliminary Information
Preliminary information is required to be provided to MoLFD (or anybody
designated by MoLFD), by the proponent of the sub-project on the proposed
project as early as possible. The required information shall include a description of
the nature, scope and location of the proposed sub project, accompanied by
location maps and any other details as may be required by the MoLFD. If the
preliminary information submitted to MoLFD should indicate that the project has
potential involuntary resettlement, such as involving taking of land which might
result in physical displacement of persons, loss of assets, loss of livelihood or
restriction of resource use, then this RPF is triggered and a RAP needs to be
prepared.
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 45 | P a g e
Socio-economic Baseline Census
This shall be carried out to provide baseline data on various factors including the
following:-
� (i) Identification of current occupants of the affected area, to establish the
basis for the design of the resettlement program and to exclude subsequent
inflows of people from eligibility for compensation and resettlement
assistance;
� (ii) Standard characteristics of displaced households, including a description
of production systems, labor, and household organization; and baseline
information on livelihoods (including, as relevant, production levels and
income derived from both formal and informal economic activities) and
standards of living (including health status) of the displaced population;
� (iii) The magnitude of the expected loss of assets, total or partial, and the
extent of displacement, physical or economic;
� (iv) Information on vulnerable groups or persons for whom special
provisions may have to be made;
� (v) Land tenure and transfer systems, including an inventory of common
property natural resources from which people derive their livelihoods and
sustenance, non-title-based usufruct systems (including fishing, grazing, or
use of forest areas) governed by local recognized land allocation
mechanisms, and any issues raised by different tenure systems in the project
area;
� (vi) The patterns of social interaction in the affected communities, including
social networks and social support systems, and how they will be affected by
the project;
� (vii) Public infrastructure and social services that will be affected; and
� (viii) Social and cultural characteristics of displaced communities, including
a description of formal and informal institutions (e.g., community
organizations, ritual groups; and Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs)
that may be relevant to the consultation strategy and to designing and
implementing the resettlement activities.
The preliminary assessments and information and the socio-economic baseline
census will assist in determining the cut-off date, period of registration of claims
and valuation of land and immovable assets.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLANS (RAPS)
If the preliminary assessments (scoping and screening exercises) indicate the need for involuntary
resettlement, then a RAP shall be prepared in accordance with this Resettlement Policy Framework,
World Bank Safeguard Policies and the relevant Zambian legal requirements as outlined in this RPF.
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 46 | P a g e
The preparation of the RAP may be outsourced to a specialist by MoLFD, who should in that case
prepare the terms of reference for the preparation of the RAP.
Resettlement Action Plan Types and Contents
6.4.3 Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan
An abbreviated RAP is shall be prepared where impacts on the entire displaced
population will be minor, or fewer than 200 project-affected people will be
displaced, or less than 10% of assets are impacted.
Suffice to mention that the numbers of the displaced to be considered shall be for
the entire project at any particular site/location, it is therefore recommended that
Site Specific Abbreviated Resetlement Action Plans be used for the purpose of this
RPF and the LDAHP.
6.4.4 Resettlement Action Plan Contents
If more than two hundred people are affected then the RAP preparation will include
the following:
� Definition and public disclosure of cut-off date,
� Provision of project information to affected people,
� Census of affected people and their affected assets,
� Identification of policy entitlements related to impacts through the census
and surveys and presented in a sub-project specific entitlement matrix,
� Description of compensation and other measures, (e.g resettlement
assistance like transport, etc, and rehabilitation measures like job
opportiunities)
� Development of the RAP including time-bound implementation plan
� Budget
� Consultation with the affected community and approval of the RAP by the
Zambian Authorities,
� Institutional responsibilities for implementation of the RAPArrangements for
monitoring and evaluation of the RAP
RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLAN APPROVAL PROCESS.
MoLFD or its delegated agency shall ensure that the draft RAP is made available at a
place accessible to displaced persons, local NGOs, and other interested parties in a
form, manner and language that are understandable to them once a draft RAP has
been prepared.
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 47 | P a g e
The Draft RAP shall be transmitted to the World Bank for appraisal and review at
the same time. The World Bank shall also make the RAP available to the public
through its Info-Shop. The World Bank and MoLFD shall disclose the RAP again in
the same manner.RAP implementation will commence once the World Bank is
satisfied with the public disclosures and has approved the RAP. The process of
approval without land acquisition is illustrated in Figure 4 below.
RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLAN’S IMPLEMENTING AGENCIES
The overall responsibility of monitoring and evaluating the RAP activities shall lie
with MoLFD, while the World Bank shall periodically supervise the Resettlement
Action Plan activities to ensure compliance with the RAP provisions.
The Resettlement Specialist/ Environmentalist at MoLFD HQ shall be responsible for
the overall smooth implementation of the RAPs, while Human Settlements Planners
based in PACO Offices at the Provincial level and DACO Office at District level shall
be responsible for the smooth implementation of RAP’s in their areas.
RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLANS MONITORING
There shall be both internal and external monitoring of the RAP activities. Internal
monitoring of the day-to-day operations of the resettlement program shall be done
by the implementing agency whilst external monitoring shall be done by the
monitoring agency designated under LDAHP to carry out external monitoring of
LDAHP.

7.0 POPULATION DISPLACEMENT ESTIMATES AND CATEGORIES OF AFFECTED PEOPLE
At this stage in the project, it is difficult to estimate the number or likelihood of
people to be negatively impacted by the Project, as the subproject locations have
not yet been determined. Therefore, the purpose of the RPF is to establish the
mechanisms by which the appropriate tools, screening checklists and RAPs, will be
implemented to mitigate potential resettlement impacts once subprojects have
been identified.
Therefore an estimate of the population to be displaced is fundamental for planning
and in determining budgets for resettlement. This estimate must identify the
categories of people likely to be affected, for this information will assist in
developing options to resettlement and potential magnitude of impacts related to
the sub-projects.
7.1 Categories of People likely to be Displaced
Impacted persons according to the relevant Zambian national legislation and the
World Banks OP 4.12 are:
a. An individual who loses assets or investments, property and land, access to
economic and natural resources due to the project activities,
b. Household(s), if one or more of its/their members are affected by the sub
project activities through either loss of land, property, access etc. by the
activities of the project; and
c. Local community, if the project activities will affect the communities’ socio-
economic conditions or the cohesion of its social fabric.
d. Vulnerable Households – Vulnerable households may have different land
needs from most households or need unrelated to the amount of land
available to them;
7.2 Analysis of Methods to be applied in Identifying displaced People
The methods to be employed shall depend upon the nature and extent of adverse
individual and collective impact by the LDAHP project on affected persons with
respect to the following ;
a) Landowners
b) Homeowenrs who lose their residence are eligible for replacement.
c) Businesses that lose their structures
d) Owners of other property
e) Residential and Business renters

8.0 Legal framework
This section of the RPF reviews the national legislation that is relevant to LDAHP
project activities, and assesses the adequacy of national legislation in terms of the
policy principles of this RPF. The legal framework relating to resettlement issues consists of the
various pieces of Zambian legislation and World Bank safeguard policy. This section presents both
aspects and identifies overlaps and gaps between the two.
8.1 THE ZAMBIAN LEGAL FRAMEWORK
Zambia's legal framework for matters related to the compulsory acquisition of
property, in particular land and the alienation of land is provided for in the
Constitution, Land Act, and the Land Acquisition Act. While these three Acts provide
the basis for land acquisition, various other national laws of Zambia define the
authority and responsibility of specific sectoral agencies.
However, suffice to mention that there is currently no specific law or policy
pertaining to involuntary resettlement in Zambia. The existing policies and
arrangements only deal with voluntary resettlement. What exists are various pieces
of legislation that provide guidance regarding legal provisions for resettlement.
Below are legal statutes that have provisions pertaining to resettlement:
8.1.1 Constitution of Zambia
Zambia's legal framework regulating the taking of land and other assets by the State
has its basis in the Constitution of Zambia, Chapter 1, Article 16 of the Laws of Zambia
provides for the fundamental right to property and protects persons from the deprivation of
property. It states that a person cannot be deprived of property compulsorily except under the
authority of an Act of Parliament, which provides for adequate payment of compensation. The
Article further provides that the Act of Parliament under reference shall provide that, in default of
agreement on the amount of compensation payable, a court of competent jurisdiction shall
determine the amount of compensation.
The constitution further provides that nothing contained in or done under the
authority of any law shall be held to be inconsistent with or in contravention of the
clause which requires that authority be obtained under an Act of Parliament which
provides for payment of adequate compensation to the extent that it is shown that
such law provides for the taking possession oracquisition of any property or interest
on the land or right over the land.
8.1.2. The Land Act, Chapter 184
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 54 | P a g e
The Act controls the alienation of land and shall goven the acquisition of land for
the LDAHP sub-projects. It shall also give guidance in procedures for the conversion
of land from customary tenure to statutory.
The Act empowers the President of the Republic to compulsorily acquire property.
The principles of compensation are pivoted on the basis that the value of property
for the purpose of compensation shall be the value of the amount which the
property might be expected to realize if sold on the open market by a willing seller
at the time of the publication of notice to yield possession of the property.
8.1.3 Land Tenure System in Zambia
As land alienation will be a crucial part in the implementation of the LDAHP, it is
useful to outline the Zambian land tenure system in order to appreciate the
alternative ways in which land can be accessed for the LDAHP project purposes.
Land tenure is the way in which rights in land are held and in Zambia tenure is
categorised into two tenure systems namely, statutory tenure and customary.
1. Statutory tenure
This refers to state Land which is administered by the Lands Commissioner
through local authorities on behalf of the President since all land in the
country is vested in the Republican President on behalf of the people.
The president of Zambia holds the country’s land in perpetuity on behalf of
the Zambian people. The president has delegated his powers to make and
execute grants and disposition of land to the Commissioner of Lands. The
Commissioner has agents who plan the land into plots and thereafter select
and recommend suitable candidates to the Commissioner of Lands for
issuance of certificate of title. the Commissioner’s agents in this regard, are
the District, Municipal, and City Councils. These agents use the Town and
Country Planning Act to plan the land in their areas in their capacities as
planning authorities under the Act.
2. The Customary Tenure
This system applies in areas under the jurisdiction of traditional authorities
(chiefs/chieftainesses). The traditional system of tenure is the most
prevalent among the majority Zambians who live in rural areas.
Approximately 94% of the country is officially designated as customary Area.
It is occupied by 73 tribes, headed by 240 chiefs, 8 senior chiefs and 4
paramount chiefs (Chileshe, 2005).
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 55 | P a g e
Usually, tenure under customary lands does not allow for exclusive rights in
land. No single person can claim to own land as the whole land belongs to
the community. Land is deemed as belonging to members of the community
for their own use (Republic of Zambia,1995). It is a valuable heritage for the
whole community. Communal lands in most of the African countries
including Zambia have sprung from a concept of ancestral trust committed
to the living for their own interest and for the interest of the unborn. This is
embedded in a common West African dictum which says:
I conceive of land to as belonging to a vast family of whom many are dead, a
few are living and countless are still unborn.People holding land are thus
doing so in trust for ancestors and for those who are not yet born and also
the community as a whole. (Nigerian herder)(Lane, 1998)
It is the duty of traditional rulers to ensure that every member capable of
owning land is allocated land. The issue of access, as in state land, is tied to
capability. However, being capable is entirely up to the discretion of the
chief. This has often led to dissatisfaction among the members of the
community, the most vulnerable groups being women, youths and the
disabled(Zambia Land Alliance, 2005).
Customary land ordinarily cannot be used as collateral, as in many cases
there are no legal defined physical boundaries, as required under the Land
Survey Act. Thus customary lands are prone to encroachments which often
result in land disputes. Customary land in Zambia which accounts for over 70
% is now very much in demand for the country’s development.
8.1.4 Land Delivery System in Zambia
The following 2 sections outline the processes for acquiring title to land from state
land and from customary land. These guidelines will be useful for land access at the
various sites of the LDAHP.
1.0) State land
The system to acquire titled land from state land is as follows:
The District, Municipal or City Council identifies an area for which a layout plan is
made, subdividing the identified land into several plots. In the case of agricultural
land, the relevant departments in the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives and
the Resettlement Department under the Vice President’s office are responsible.
The layout plan is endorsed and stamped by the appropriate planning authority that
later transmits the endorsed plan to the Lands Department for scrutiny and
verification of the planned land’s availability.
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 56 | P a g e
If the planned land is available, the plan is approved and transmitted to the Survey
Department for surveying and numbering as per the Land Survey Act.
Upon receipt of numbered and surveyed plots, the relevant authorities advertise
them to the public after which applicants are interviewed.
Selected applicants are recommended for further consideration and approval by the
office of the Commissioner of Lands, who is the final authority to grant title to land.
2.0) Customary land
The customary land delivery system is as follows:
� The prospective developer approaches the Chief or Chieftainess of the area
for consent to hold land on leasehold tenure and obtain certificate of title.
� Where the Chief or Chieftaness is satisfied that the land being requested for
is available (unoccupied), s/he writes a consent letter to the office of the
Council Secretary, with the land’s location site plan, drawn by the local
planning authority attached.
� The Chief’s consent letter and attached site plan are taken to the relevant
Council Secretary who endorses and stamps the document(s).
� The Council Secretary arranges for the land in question to be inspected by a
committee which deals with land matters in the area.
� The committee interviews the applicant.
� If the applicant is successful, the Council Secretary brings the application to
the full council for consideration.
� If the council approves the application, they will recommend to the
Commissioner of Lands the allocation of the unnumbered plot to the
applicant.
� The application forms, site plans and council minutes are attached to the
recommendation letter which certifies that the recommended plot is free of
settlement by other subjects in the jurisdiction of the Chief/ Chieftainess.
� If satisfied, the Commissioner of Lands approves the application. For land in
excess of 250 hectares, the Commissioner of Lands is required to seek
clearance from the Minister of Lands before approval .
8.1.5 Lands Acquisition Act Chapter 189 of the Laws of Zambia.
Section three of the Lands Acquisition Act empowers the President of the Republic
to compulsorily acquire property. Sections 5 to 7 of the Act provides for the issuing
of notices to show the intention to acquire, notice to yield up property and to take
up possession.
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 57 | P a g e
Section 10 of the Act provides for compensation as consisting of such moneys as
may be agreed from moneys appropriated for the purpose by Parliament.
Furthermore, this section provides that where the property to be compulsorily
acquired is land, the President, with the consent of the person entitled to
compensation shall in lieu or in addition to any compensation payable under the
section, grant other land not exceeding the value of the land acquired.
Under the Lands Acquisition Act, the value of the property for purposes of
compensation shall be the value of the amount which the property might be
expected to realize if sold on the open market by a willing seller at the time of the
publication of the notice to yield up possession of the property. Section 11 of the
Lands Acquisition Act provides for the settlement of the disputes relating to the
amount of compensation in the High Court.
Part VI of the Lands Acquisition Act (Cap. 189) provides for the establishment of
Compensation Advisory Board to advise and assist the Minister in the assessment of
any compensation payable under the Act. Other functions of the board, its
operations and constitution are also prescribed.
8.1.6 The Local Government Act Chapter 281
The Act provides for the system of local government administration in Zambia at
city, municipality and district council levels. Each level has delegated statutory
functions with respect to development planning and participatory democracy.
Therefore the Act shall guide in the distinguishing of the project site with regard to
their location. The laid procedure in the acquisition of land for subprojects shall be
determined by the provisions of both this Act and the Lands Act.
8.1.7 The Town & Country Planing Act Chapter 283
The Act provides for Ministerial powers to appoint planning authorities to prepare
structural, regional, integrated development, and layout plans to guide physical
urban and rural development in Zambia.
8.1.8 The Public Roads Act (2002)
Section 18(3) gives authority to the Road Development Agency to enter upon any
land for the purpose of extraction of material for road function. It further provides
for compensation to be paid to the affected if such land owner / occupier of such
land is on title. Further, the Environmental Management Unit in the then
Department of Roads (now Roads Development Agency - RDA) in 2003 developed
an “Involuntary Resettlement Framework and Road Sector”. This guideline
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 58 | P a g e
elaborates the institutional framework for responding to involuntary resettlement
in Zambia. It specifies that the RDA will play a leading role in the District roads, the
Agency will be the lead agency and will play the role of carrying out social survey
and related assessments and ensuring the participation of other stakeholders such
as the project affected communities, individuals and nongovernmental
organizations. The Agency will also be responsible for overseeing the
implementation process and ensuring the compensation and rehabilitation
mechanism is implemented adequately”. The Agency also notes livelihood
assessments and enumeration of affected persons (Environmental Management
Unit, 2003).
Department of Resettlement:
The Department of Resettlement is responsible for the actual resettlement process,
with the following functions.
• Identification and acquisition of land for resettlement.
• Demarcation of farm plots.
• Processing applications for resettlement.
• Allocation of settlement farm plots to suitable applicants.
• Recommending deserving settlers to acquire certificate of titles to
their farm plots from the Ministry of Lands.
• Co-coordinating provision of infrastructure in resettlement
programme schemes and resettlement schemes.
Section 18 (5) of the Act allows the land/owner occupier to submit some written
request to the Agency for any expense or loss that may be incurred if such land is
appropriated. Section 18 (6) states that in the event of failure to agree upon the
amount of compensation the matter shall be decided by arbitration in accordance
with the Arbitration Act. The Act under section 18 (7) provides a number of
conditions which shall form the basis for assessment of properties or envisaged
losses that are the subject of disagreements.
8.1.9 The Agricultural Lands Act
This Act provides for the establishment of the Agricultural Lands Board and for
tenant farming schemes. The act empowers the Minister, by statutory notice, to
declare any state land and, with the consent of the registered owner, any freehold
land, and to alienate any declared land in any of the following ways:
• by state grant,
• by the lease of holdings, or • by any other state lease or tenancy.

Subsection 5 of section 21 provides that a lessee shall use his holding primarily for
agricultural purposes, for purposes ancillary thereto and for the personal residence
of himself and his family and necessary staff and for no other purpose.
Subsection 1 of section 40 permits a tenant who obtains approval from the
Agricultural Lands Board to make improvements to a holding at his own expense.
Improvements which are permitted are those which are reasonably required for the
management, improvement or development of the holding. Only improvements
which are approved by the Agricultural Lands Boards qualify for compensation.
Section 43 provides that, if any dispute shall arise relating to:-
� (a) The amount of any compensation, not being an ex gratia payment;
� (b) Any valuation for an option to purchase a holding; and
� (c) Any valuation for a state grant;
such dispute may be referred to arbitration under the provisions of the Arbitration
Act.
8.1.10 Arbitration Act No. 19 of 2000
This Act provides for arbitration in cases where the land owner/occupier does not
agree with the amount of compensation being offered. Under section 12 (2) of the
Act, the parties to arbitration are free to determine the procedure for appointing
the arbitrator or arbitrators. Section 12 (3) (b) states that if the parties are unable to
agree on the arbitration, another arbitrator shall be appointed, upon request of a
party, by an arbitral institution.
8.1.11 Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations of 1997
Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations (1997) are promulgated under the
Environmental Protection and Pollution ControlAct. The First Schedule of
Regulation 3 specifies which type of developments requires a project brief. It
specifies that all major roads outside the urban areas, the construction of new
roads and major improvements over 10km in length or over 1 km in length, if the
road passes through a National Park or Game Management Area, requires a project
brief and/or an environmental impact statement.
Regulation 10 provides for public consultation by the developer before submitting
the environmental impact statement to the Council. The developer should seek the
views of the people in the communities which will be affected by the project. The
developer shall:

and, thereafter, at regular intervals throughout the project implementation
schedule.
After the expiration of fifteen days referred to above, hold meetings with affected
communities in order to present information on the project and obtain views of
those concerned.
Regulation 11 provides for the contents of environmental impact statements to
include:-
� The social and economic impact of the project, such as resettlement of
affected people;
� Socio-economic and cultural considerations such as effects on generation or
reduction of employment in the area, social cohesion or resettlement and
local economic impacts; and
� Effect on land uses and land potential in the project area and surrounding
areas.
8.1.12 The Zambia Wildlife Act No. 12 of 1998
Section 32 of the Zambia Wildlife Act provides that any activity or plan which is
likely to have an adverse effect on any wildlife species or community in a National
Park, Game Management Area or Open Area shall be subjected to a wildlife impact
assessment as required by the Zambia Wildlife Authority (ZAWA). Where
resettlement would have or is likely to have an impact on wildlife, a wildlife impact
assessment would be required under this Act.

8.1.17 Lands Tribunal
The tribunal was set up as being to speedily settle or prevent land disputes.
8.2 WORLD BANK SAFEGUARD POLICY
The World Bank safeguard policy OP 4.12 relates to the administration of
resettlement issues in the event of project activities inducing displacement of
people and disrupting their livelihoods. The policy applies to Component 2 of the
LDAHP which deals mostly with construction of livestock centres and supporting
infrastructure
According to the World Bank’s safeguard policy OP 4.12, particular attention should
be given to the needs of vulnerable groups such as the poverty stricken, the
landless, the elderly, widows, child-headed households and other disadvantaged
persons. It is also a requirement of the policy that provision of compensation and
other assistance be effected prior to people’s displacement. This implies that
acquisition of land for LDAHP activities can only take place after those affected have
been compensated.
In this regard, resettlement sites, new homes and related public infrastructure,
public services and moving allowances will be provided to the affected persons and
incorporated in all resettlement action plans in accordance with the OP 4.12
provisions. In addition, the World Bank policy offers the impacted persons an
opportunity to improve their livelihoods and living standards through the
participation in the planning preparation and implementation of RAPs.
The safeguard policies also require that:
� Resettlement should be avoided wherever possible or minimized. All viable
alternative project designs should be considered.
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 62 | P a g e
� Resettlement activities should be conceived as sustainable development
programmes, providing sufficient investment reserves to enable the person
displaced by the project to shore in project benefits.
� Displaced persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their
livelihoods and standards of living or at least restore them, in real terms to
pre-displacement levels or to those prevailing prior to the beginning of
project implementation whichever is higher.
The OP 4.12 also stipulates that the RPF and RAPs should include measures to
ensure that the displaced persons are safeguarded as follows:-
� They should be informed about their options and rights pertaining to
resettlement.
� They should be consulted on, offered choices among and provided with
technically and economically feasible resettlement alternatives.
� They should be provided with prompt and effective compensation at full
replacement cost for loss assets attributed directly to the project. The
resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework should include measures
to assure that the displaced persons are :
� Provided with assistance, such as transport and other allowances
during relocation.
� Provided with residential housing or housing sites or as required
agricultural sites for which a combination of productive potential,
location advantages and other factors are at least equivalent to the
advantages of the old site.
� Offered support after displacement, for a transition period, based on
a reasonable estimate of time likely to be needed to restore their
livelihood and standards of living.
� Provided with development assistance in addition to compensation
measures such as land preparation, credit facilities or job
opportunities.

8.3 OVERLAPS AND GAPS BETWEEN THE ZAMBIAN LEGISLATION AND WORLD BANK PO 4.12
8.3.1 Overlaps
There are many similarities between Zambian law and the World Bank’s OP 4.12
The overlaps include:-
� the requirement to pay compensation in advance where land is compulsorily
acquired
� compensation based on full market value or through grant of another plot of
land or building of equal quality, size and value.
� avoidance wherever possible impacts on forest reserves, national parks and
other fragile ecosystems,
� the requirement to compensate for losses whether temporary or permanent
in production or damage to productive assets and crops; and
� provision for the rights of appeal and other judicial avenues for resolution of
disputes.
8.3.2 Gaps
The following gaps exist between the World Bank Op 4.12 provisions and Zambian
legislation:
� Comprehensive resettlement planning. There is no requirement under the
Zambian law for the preparation of a comprehensive formal resettlement
action plan (RAP) including carrying out a census, social economic survey,
consultations with project affected people, monitoring, reporting, etc. The
Town and Country Planning legislation which deals with issues of human
settlement and development in Zambia does not refer to involuntary
settlement but only to the removal of squatters on state lands needed for
urban expansion and development.
� Compensation eligibility in Zambia. Under the Zambian law, only people and
entities with title deeds are entitled to compensation e.g. those with
registered third party rights or those who have legally obtained the right to
register but have not yet completed registration.
Under World Bank’s OP 4.12, illegal land users without title to the land are
entitled to compensation for land use and affected structures on it (but not
compensated for land).
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 64 | P a g e
� Compensation and resettlement assistance. The current Zambian law
provides for the payment of compensation at market value for losses of land,
buildings, crops and other damages arising from the acquisition of land for
project activities. Under the Zambian law, moving costs or rehabilitation
support to restore previous level of livelihood or living standard are not
recognized, and there is no government agency charged with that
responsibility.
� Property measurement. Under the Zambian law, compensation is equal to
the market value of the property without reference to depreciation. On the
contrary, under the World Bank Safeguard policies, compensation for lost
properties will be calculated on the basis of full replacement cost i.e. equal to
what enables the project affected people (PAP) to restore their livelihoods at
the level prior to resettlement.
� Income restoration. The current Zambian law does not recognize
compensation for lost income contrary to the World Bank’s OP 4.12 provision
which requires that lost income due to project activity should be
compensated.
8.3.3 Measures to close the Gaps
It is therefore from the point of view of the process of land acquisition and
compensation, that it is clear the procedures described in Section 8.1 are likely less
practicable in the event that involuntary resettlement issues arise in sub-projects. It
will therefore be necessary to streamline the compensation review process under
Zambian law to ensure that approvals are consistent with those required by the
World Bank for timely sub-project approval and implementation. The Project
Coordination Office should develop valuation and compensation procedures that
allows the delegation of authority and decision making to the local level in the case
of sub-projects that have minimal resettlement impact. Based on the analysis of
these differences and common points, the MoLFD through Government of the
Republic of Zambia has to agree to implement the policy principles of the RPF as
stated above and consistent with World Bank OP 4.12 for the activities to be
financed by the Project.
Therefore to harmonise the two legal provisions is a cardinal measure since the
primary aim of the RPF is to restore the livelihood of the PAPs to the original status
of their econmic, social and cultural well being. Suffice to mention that to adopt the
provisions of OP 4.12 on compensation to prevail unless the PAPs are likely to lose
out in terms of what is to be paid under OP 4.12 provisions is cardinal.

9.0 ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR DIFINING VARIOUS CATEGORIES
OF AFFECTED PERSONS.
9.1 PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPING ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
The subproject proponent is required to develop a procedure, satisfactory to
MoLFD and the World Bank, for establishing detailed criteria by which displaced
persons will be deemed eligible for compensation and other resettlement
assistance. In developing such a procedure, the subproject proponent should follow
the following principles:
(a) Development of a process and procedures which must include provisions for
meaningful consultations with affected persons and communities, Local
authorities, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and other key
stakeholders as appropriate.
(b) Provision of compensation for the loss of land and other assistance where
necessary, for those who have formal legal rights to land, and those who do
not have formal legal rights to land at the time the census begins but have a
claim to such land or assets. Other assistance to these displaced persons
which should be provided where necessary includes:-
(i) Support after displacement, for a transition period, based on a
reasonable estimate of the time likely to be needed to restore
their livelihood and standards of living; and
(ii) Development assistance such as land preparation, credit
facilities, training, or job opportunities in addition to
compensation measures.
c) Provision of resettlement assistance in lieu of compensation for the land they
occupy and other assistance as necessary, for those who have no recognizable
legal right or claim to the land they are occupying if they occupied the project
area prior to the cut-off date. In this regard resettlement assistance may, as
appropriate to the World Bank OP4.12, consist of helping the PAPs with seeds,
costs of preparing gardens, transport to new locations. “Resettlement
Assistance” therefore means the measures to ensure that project affected
persons who may require to be physically relocated are provided with
assistance such as moving allowances, residential housing or rentals
whichever is feasible and as required, for ease of resettlement during
relocation.
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 66 | P a g e
(d) Provision of compensation for loss of assets other than land, impact on
livelihoods, as well as costs involved in resettlement actions to all persons
who qualify for compensation.
9.2 DETERMINATION OF CUT-OFF DATE FOR COMPENSATION
The establishment of a cut-off date is required to prevent opportunistic
invasions/rush migration into the chosen land areas thereby posing a major risk to
the sub-project. Therefore, establishment of a cut-off date is of critical importance.
The Project Planning Team’s will play a crucial role in identifying users of land.
Fixing eligibility criteria for entitlements purposes are very essential for
resettlement/ rehabilitation process and payments of compensation. It is in this
regard that: property inventories with other relevant socio – economic surveys and
fixing a cut off date after proper consultation and announcement are very critical if
unnecessary claims of compensation are to be avoided.
When the need for involuntary resettlement in an LDAHP subproject has been
determined, the project proponent will carry out a census to identify the persons
who will be affected by the subproject activity. This exercise will help the subproject
proponent to determine who will be eligible for compensation and assistance
before the implementation of the project commences. It will also help to prevent an
inflow of ineligible people living outside the subproject area who might want to take
advantage of claiming assistance from the project. The cut-off date will be the date
of the completion of the census. Those coming into the area after the cut-off date
will not be eligible for compensation.
9.3 DESCRIBE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF AFFECTED PEOPLE AND TYPE OF LOSSES
This section describes type of affected people likely to be impacted by the LDAHP
once implemented. However, it is important to note that at this stage it would not
be possible to attempt to quantify the estimated likely number of people who may
be affected since the sub projects have not been created.
Therefore, the likely displaced persons in the case of LDAHP project can be
categorized into four groups, namely;
i) Affected Individual
An individual who suffers loss of assets or investments, land and property
and/or access to natural and/or economical resources as a result of the sub-
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 67 | P a g e
projects and to whom compensation is due. For example, an affected individual
is a person who farms, or who has built a structure on land that is now required
by a sub project for purposes other than farming or residence by the initial
individuals.
ii) Affected Household
A household is affected if one or more of its members is affected by project
activities, either by loss of property, land, loss of access or otherwise affected in
any way by project activities. This provides for:
a) any members in the households, men, women, children, dependent
relatives and friends, tenants.
b) vulnerable individuals who may be too old or ill to farm along with
the others
c) relatives who depend on one another for their daily existence.
d) any members in the households, men, women, children, dependent
relatives and friends, tenants, and
e) Other vulnerable people who cannot participate for physical or
cultural reasons in production, consumption, or co-residence.
Compensation will not be limited to people who live together in a co-resident
group, since this might leave out people whose labor contributions are critical to
the functioning of the “household”.
iii) Affected local community
A community is affected if project activities affect their socio-economic and/or
social-cultural relationships or cohesion. For example project activities could
lead into such improvement of socio-economic welfare that classconsciousness
arises coupled with cultural erosion etc.
iv) Vulnerable Households
Vulnerable households may have different land needs from most households or
needs unrelated to the amount of land available to them.:
a) Widows and Widowers
b) Non-farming
c) Elderly
d) The infirm or ill
e) Orphans
f) Disabled or Phyiscally Challenged persons
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 68 | P a g e
Each category of vulnerable person or household must be compensated according
to the nature of the economic loss suffered by loss of access to or use of the land
acquired by the sub-project.
9.4 ENTITLEMENTS RELATED TO ADDITIONAL IMPACTS
Entitlements for compensation related to additional impacts will be based on the
eligibility criteria for the various categories of losses already identified, while
payment of compensation and other entitlements and assistance will be made to
PAP households and individuals according to the following principles:
� Compensation shall be paid prior to displacement.
� Compensation will be at least full displacement value and the
compensation policy and it’s processes shall be perceived by the PAPs as
being full, fair and prompt.
� Preference will be given to persons whose livelihoods are land based.
� Where sufficient land is not available at reasonable price, non-land based
options centered on opportunities for employment or self employment
should be provided in addition to cash compensation for land and other
assets lost.
� Taking of land and related assets may take place only after compensation has
been paid; and resettlement sites, new houses, related infrastructure, public
services and moving allowances have been provided to displaced persons.
� In addition to these entitlements, households which are found in difficult
situations, and are at greater risk of impoverishment such as widow/
widower households, households without employment, single parent
households etc., as identified by the census, will be provided with
appropriate assistance by the Government.
� Assistance may be in the form of food, temporary accommodation, medical
assistance, employment referrals or priority employment in project activities.
The assistance is meant to help them cope with the displacement caused by
the programme.
� Compensation and other assistance to be provided prior to displacement
preparation and provision of resettlement sites with adequate facilities.

10 Asset valuation
This section describes a) methods by which assets will be valued and deemed to be eligible for
compensation, and (b) explains methods of inventorying assets and assigning values to each asset.
Property valuation in Zambia is carried out by valuation professionals who either
work for the Government Department of Valuations in the Ministry of Local
Government and Housing or for private firms. The Government Valuation
Department carries out Government evaluations and for the public at a fee, while
private practitioners provide valuation services to the general public at a fee.
10.1 VALUATION PRACTICE IN ZAMBIA
Valuation practice is the traditional role that ‘property consultants’ performs in
Zambia. A valuer is a trained professional who has a thorough knowledge and
understanding of the factors that create, maintain or diminish values of real estate
or assets. An independent valuer can provide impartial and motivated reports on
the value of real or limited rights in land.
In Zambia, in order to function as a valuer one needs to be registered with the
Valuation Surveyors’ Registration Board. Valaution is therefore practiced by the
Government Valuation Department (GVD) and various registered private firms. The
GVD undertakes valuations on behalf of the Government of the Republic of Zambia.
Valuations procedure used by either GVD or private consulting firms in valuing
assets should always be in accordance with the Practice Statements and Guidance
Notes published by the International Valuation Standards Committee (IVSC),
adopted and recognized by international accounting standards and risk
management professionals.
10.2 LAND TENURE SYSTEMS AND THE VALUATION OF IMMOVABLE ASSSETS IN ZAMBIA.
The major difference between the two categories of tenures is that state land is
surveyed while traditional land is not and is held by the traditional leader on behalf
of the community as a common asset. To this effect land under customary does not
form part of value for assets since it still remains communal unless the chief and
the respective district council approves its conversion to Leasehold type of tenure
as provided for by the Lands Act of 1995.
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 74 | P a g e
Suffice to mention that in Zambia, valuation of immovable assets is closely related
to the land tenure systems in the Country. The valuation of a piece of land, or
immovable property on that land depends on whether that land is under the 99-
year renewable state leasehold, or under traditional authority. Only state land can
be valued, while traditional land and the properties on it cannot be valued for
purposes of legal transactions, until certain procedures have been fulfilled, as per
Zambia’s land delivery systems described in the chapter on the Legal Framework.
However, by applying one of the valuation methods to be described, the value of
property on traditional land can be ascertained separately from the land.
As described in the Legal Frameworks section on land delivery, those who want to
value and buy traditional land must first obtain a letter from the Traditional Ruler
concerned. In essence, the procedures that are followed before traditional land can
be valued and sold are as per the land delivery system described earlier as regards
transfer of traditional land into state land. As such, it still remains that traditional
land cannot be valued until it is turned into leasehold tenure.
10.3 VALUATION METHODS IN ZAMBIA
The four methods used to value property in Zambia are:-
10.3.1 Direct Capital Comparison Method:
This method assumes that the value of a property is arrived at by direct
comparisons made with other similar available property transactions in the area or
vicinity. Considerations are made with reference to location, accessibility, demand
and supply positions, quality and standard of the built up structures, age and
condition, the prevailing economic and property market trends.
Sale values are then analysed and processed to form units of value per square
metre of the total external floor area of the buildings. These are then compared
with the subject property on the same basis to arrive at an adjusted unit of value
and apply the same to the subject property whilst allowing for similarities and
dissimilarities accordingly. Comparable sales of properties can easily be extracted
from the Ministry of Lands Consent Office or at the Zambia Revenue Authority’s
Property Transfer Tax Office or Established Property Consultants/Estate Agents.
10.3.2 The Depreciated Replacement Cost method of valuation;
The RICS/ISVA Valuation and Appraisal Manual refer to this valuation basis as the
Depreciated Replacement Cost. The method is used to value properties where
there is no general demand and thus for which comparable evidence is absent. If
such properties are sold, the price required by the vendor would normally be the
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 75 | P a g e
cost of construction plus the value of land for an alternative property. In such
circumstances, it is reasonable to assume that value and cost are equal.
Therefore this Method requires estimates of the value of the land in its existing use
and of the gross replacement cost of buildings and other site works from which
appropriate deductions may then be made to allow for age, condition, economic or
functional obsolescence and environmental and other factors which might result in
the existing property being worth less than a new replacement.
10.3.3 The Investment Method
This method is designed to value investment properties mostly applied to the
valuation of businesses, using projected future incomes and costs to arrive at a
present value of a business. The estimated gross annual rent is reduced to a net
income after deducting expenses. The net annual income is then capitalised at an
appropriate yield. Rental values of properties are extracted during field inspections.
10.3.4 The Residual Method of Valuation
This is used to value properties with latent value which could be released by further
development. It calculates the residual value which essentially is the value that a
prospective developer would be prepared to pay for the site. It, thus, is an approach
that is suitable for aiding property development decisions by indicating the possible
values of the development once completed and by providing a guide as to the likely
profits. If the developer’s profit is negative then the proposed development is
considered not viable unless in the converse situation.
10.4 PURPOSES OF VALUATION
The various purposes for which valuations are required include accounting,
insurance, sale, purchase, rent, funding, property tax, mortgage, appropriation
(compensation upon compulsory purchase), probate, liquidation or receivership,
mergers or take-overs, arbitration, bankruptcy, rating and expert witness
valuations, commercialisation, privatisation, stock exchange, etc.

Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 76 | P a g e
10.5 BASIS OF VALUATION
10.5.1 Land and Buildings
The basis of valuation for the land and buildings is Open Market Value.
The term Open Market Value is defined as an opinion of the best price at which the
sale of an interest in property would be completed unconditionally for cash
consideration on the date of valuation assuming:
• a willing seller;
• that prior to the date of valuation, there had been a reasonable period
(having regard to the nature of the property and the state of the market) for
the proper marketing of the interest, for the agreement of the price and
terms;
• that the state of the market, level of values and other circumstances were,
on any earlier assumed date of exchange of contracts, the same as on the
date of valuation;
• that no account is taken of any additional bid by a prospective purchaser
with a special interest; and
• that both parties to the transaction had acted knowledgeably, prudently and
without compulsion.
10.5.2 Plant Machinery and Equipment
The basis of valuation for the plant, machinery and equipment is
Depreciated Replacement Value. This value is applied to assets which are
part of an operating concern and assumes adequate profitability. It does
not necessarily represent the open market value.
The Depreciated Replacement Value is the gross replacement cost
depreciated according to age, obsolescence use and condition.
The Gross replacement cost of plant and machinery is the estimated cost
of acquiring and installing a new asset or a modern substitute asset having
the same productive capacity as that existing together with the associated
expenses directly related to the installation of the asset.

10.5.3 Valuation of Crops
In arriving at the value of crops, units of value in terms of rates per hectare for
specific crop has to be established from the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperative.
Therefore valuation of Crops is estimated on the basis of earning capacity of the
crop. Crop valuation by earning approach entails discounting net income
expectancies to a present worth estimate which a prudent and well informed
purchaser would be willing to pay at a fixed time for the right to receive the income
stream produced by a particular crop.
10.6 METHODS FOR INVENTORYING ASSETS IN ZAMBIA
In this document, inventorying refers to the listing of assets in order to determine
the value of each asset item and, consequently, the total value of assets. In
inventorying, it is required that each asset item be expressed in an appropriate unit
measure, e.g. hectare as a unit of measure for agricultural land, acre or square
meter for residential plots and item count (each) for buildings and structures. An
example of inventorying showing asset category and unit measure is shown in table
4.
The requirement to express assets in appropriate units for valuation purposes also
entails that compound assets are separated and counted or added using
appropriate units. An example of a compound asset is a piece of land on which a
crop, such as maize, is still standing un-harvested. In this case proper inventorying
requires that quantity of land is counted and expressed in its appropriate unit (i.e.
hectare) and the quantity of maize crop (expected to be harvested) is also
expressed in an appropriate unit (e.g. 50-kilogram bag).
Once the asset listing has been produced, the replacement cost of each unit of asset
category is then determined. The unit replacement cost for each asset category is
then multiplied by the quantity of asset holding in each category.

10.7 OVERVIEW OF WORLD BANK RECOMMENDED VALUATION METHOD
The use of Replacement Cost Valuation Method for valuing assets is recommended by the World Bank Operational Policy 4.12. In this regard,
“Replacement Cost” as it relates to agricultural land is defined as the pre-project or pre-displacement, market value of land of equal
productive potential or use located in the vicinity of the affected land, plus the cost of preparing the land to levels similar to those of the
affected land, plus the cost of any registration and transfer taxes which ever is the higher.
For land in urban areas, it is the pre-displacement market value of land of equal size and use, with similar or improved public infrastructure
facilities and services and located in the vicinity of the affected land, plus the cost of any registration and transfer taxes.
For houses and other structures, it is the market cost of the materials to build a replacement structure within an area and quality similar to or
better than those of the affected structure, or to repair a partially affected structure, plus the cost of transporting building materials to the
construction site, plus the cost of any labor and contractors’ fees, plus the cost of any registration and transfer taxes.
The World Bank Policy 4.12 further states that “in determining the replacement cost, depreciation of the asset and the value of salvage
materials are not taken into account, nor is the value of benefits to be derived from the project deducted from the valuation of an affected
asset and where domestic law does not meet the standard of compensation at full replacement cost, compensation under domestic law is
supplemented by additional measures so as to meet the replacement cost standard.”
The following are the basic differences between the Zambian valuation methods and the World Bank recommended valuation methods:-
� (i) The World Bank Operation Policy replacement cost does not take into account the depreciation of the asset whilst the replacement
cost method used in Zambia takes depreciation into account.
� (ii) The World Bank takes into account transaction costs which is not the case with Zambian valuation practice.

10.8 RESETTLEMENT POLICY FRAMEWORK ASSET VALUATION GUIDELINES
In this RPF, the term asset is defined as an advantage or resource that is available to an individual or household classified into the following five
categories: - .
� Natural assets e.g land and water,
� Material assets such as household assets, storage, processing equipment etc.,
� Financial/Business assets, e.g main income, supplimentary income and informal and formal credit and business enterprise,
� Human sssets such as labour availability, and access to education and skills; and
� Social assets, which include informal support networks, support and interest groups, ability to participate in grassroots democracy and,
social services such as schools, health clinics, or religious and cultural affiliated assets.
As loss of access to human assets, social assets and some types of natural assets such as a nearby forest where people gather fruits, is not
amenable to monetary valuation, the following asset valuation guidelines which take into account the type of asset under each category and
type of valuation characteristics peculiar to it, are recommended in the implementation of this RFP and RAPs:-
Qualified valuation professionals should undertake the valuation of assets, while the subproject proponent should bear the cost of valuation.
Currently the valuation fees for a professional valuator is negotiable, and the minimum fees ranges from ZMK 1,000,000 and ZMK 5,000,000,
depending on the type of the property and its location. The valuation fees for properties in urban areas are generally higher than in rural areas.
Valuation of assets should be at replacement cost plus transaction costs, as already recommended, while depreciation of structures and assets
should not be taken into account.
Cash compensation levels should be sufficient to replace the lost land and other assets at full replacement cost in local markets.
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 82 | P a g e
On traditional land, assets should be valued at replacement cost separate from the land. Valuing traditional land using the replacement cost
method presents unique challenges as it has no recognizable ‘market value’. WB OP4.12 provides that payment of cash compensation for lost
assets may be appropriate where the following circumstances obtain:-
� (a) livelihoods are land-based but the land taken for the project is 10% or even a smaller fraction of the affected asset and the residual
is economically viable,
� (b) existence of active markets for land, housing, and labor used by displaced persons and where there is sufficient supply of land and
housing; and
� (c) livelihoods are not land-based.
With regard to traditional land,(b) above does not apply as already explained unless the procedures of transfering traditional land into state
land are entered into as already outlined. If scenario (a) and (c) arose, then the value of traditional land taken would be the cost of finding
alternative land and bringing it to the productive level similar to the lost land. The cost of finding alternative land will include search costs,
including travel and other expenses.
Attempts should be made to establish access to equivalent and culturally acceptable resources and earning opportunities in cases of losses
which cannot easily be valued or compensated for in monetary terms such as access to public and social services, customers, suppliers, fishing,
grazing or forest areas.
Suffice to mention that crops have their significance to the local subsistence economy of each particular area which this project is to enhance,
crops or trees used for commercial purposes will be compensated under market value based on historical production records. If households are
to be resettled they will be compensated for the labour invested in the crop or tree they leave behind. The compensation rate will be based on
information obtained from the socio-economic study as well as from the Ministry of Agriculture.

11 COMPENSATION for resetllement
It is recommended in this RPF that the sub-project proponents would value and duly compensate for lost assets and investments, including
land, crops, buildings and other improvements according to the provisions of the Resettlement Action Plans.
11.1 COMPENSATION GUIDELINES
As already outlined compensation rates will be at market rates as from the date and time that the replacement is to be provided. The current
prices of cash crops would have to be determined. Compensation would be based on valuation at or before the entitlement cut off date.
Homestead such as bush is community property. Only structures on the site belong to individuals, while permanent loss of any homestead site
will be covered by community compensation which will be in kind only. Compensation for land is intended to provide the affected person
whose land is acquired and used for subproject purposes with compensation for land, labour and crops loss.
Where land acquired has a standing crop, the farmer will be compensated in full for the expected market value of the crop plus the loss of
investment of labour and purchased inputs for the production year/ season in question.
11.2 TYPES OF COMPENSATION PAYMENTS
11.2.1 Cash payment:
Wll be calculated and paid in Kwacha. Rates will be based on market value of land when known or estimated when not known plus
compensation of the value of standing crops. Arrangements shall be made to pay PAPs through the banks for amounts above K1,000,000.00
(one million Kwacha).
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 84 | P a g e
11.2.2 In kind compensation:
May include items such as land, houses, and other buildings, building materials, seedlings agricultural inputs and financial credits for
equipments. Other forms of compensation to affected persons would include assistance in terms of moving allowances transportation and
labour.
In a country like Zambia, with ample land and labour intensive agriculture, the contribution of land can be imputed at about 25% of the gross
market value of output. In this regard, the present value of future income in perpetuity can be discounted back to the present at a discount
rate of 12% which amounts to approximately twice the average annual value of output.
Therefore, a person who gives up a parcel of agricultural land for use by a sub-project could be adequately compensated in cash in the amount
of twice the average value of gross annual output, plus the additional value of standing crop, if any. Compensation in kind would take the form
of provision of alternative piece of land of equal size and quality.
If cash compensation is used, financial institutions should encourage the use of their facilities to reduce loss of livelihood or theft when
beneficiaries are compensated in cash. Each recipient in consultation with the project implementation Unit will decide upon the time and place
for in kind compensation.
11.3 TYPES OF COMPENSATION
11.3.1 Compensation for Land
The Lands Act recognises Land to have value under its provision. Therefore compensation for land is aimed at providing for loss of crop and the
labour used to prepare the land and cultivate the crop. The term “Land" refers to an area or homestead in cultivation, being prepared for
cultivation, or cultivated during the last agricultural season. This definition recognizes that the biggest investment a farmer makes in producing
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 85 | P a g e
a crop is his or her labour. As a result, compensation relating to land will cover the rates for labour invested,as well as the replacement cost of
the crop lost plus the value of land.
11.3.2 Compensation for Large Fruit and Tree Crops
A compensation schedule for large trees e.g. mangoes, guavas and bananas which are important sources food for families petty market income
and shade, should be developed incorporating the following:-
� Replacement of subsistence mango, guava, and banana production yields as quickly as possible.
� Provision of trees to subsistence farmers to extend the number of months of the year during which fruit tree is produced and can be
harvested as supplementary source of food for their families in needy times.
� Provision of opportunities for the farmers to have additional income from trees bearing more valuable fruits at off-season periods.
� Provision of cash payments to farmers to replace pre-subproject income derived from the sale of excess production until replacement
trees produce the equivalent (or more) in-project cash income.
Individuals who own wild tree(s) located on land they own or allocated to them by a traditional authority will be compensated for the loss of
the tree(s), while the community (village, ward or chiefdom) will be compensated for the wild trees which have to be removed to give way for
project activities if they occur in the true bush as opposed to fallow land.
11.3.3 Compensation Calculations for Buildings, Structures and Other Aspects
Compensation for buildings and structures will be paid by replacing structures such as huts, houses, farm buildings, latrines, and fences on
alternative land provided as in-kind compensation.
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 86 | P a g e
According to World Bank OP4.12, cash compensation will be available as preferred option for structures, while the on-going market prices for
construction materials will be determined. Alternatively, compensation will be paid in-kind for the replacement cost without depreciation of
the structure.
Compensation will be made for structures which are abandoned because of relocation or resettlement of an individual or household or directly
damaged by construction activities of the project
Calculations of replacement values of assets will be based on the related structures and support services, while average replacement costs of
different types of homestead and structures will be based on collection of information or numbers and types of materials such as bricks,
rafters, bundles of straw, doors, etc. used to construct different types of structures.Prices of these items collected in different local markets,
costs of transportation and delivery of these items to the required/replacement land or building site should be estimated together with the
construction of new building including the required labour.
Compensation for sacred sites, tombs and cemeteries is not permitted under this project.
Replacement costs for vegetable gardens and bee hives are to be calculated, based on the local market rates for these products at the time.
If beehives placed by individuals in various locations in the bush are disturbed, if the sub-project activities disturb or deny bee keepers access to
bee hives placed by individuals in various locations in the bush, bee keepers can move them to new locations where bees can be adapted in the
new environment. Activities of beekeepers will be valued and compensated based on the value of the season’s production cost of honey for
each hive, together with any reasonable costs associated with moving the bee hives to the new sites..
11.3.4 Compensation for Vegetable Gardens
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework

These trees have recognized local market values. Depending upon the species and age. Individual compensation for wild trees “owned” by
individuals, who are located in lands as defined in this policy, will be paid. Note that wild, productive trees belong to the community when they
occur in the true bush as opposed to a fallow land. These trees will be compensated under the umbrella of the village or community

12 Organisational procedures for the delivery of entitlements
Compensation (and resettlement) will be funded like any other activity eligible under the projects’ administrative and financial management
rules and manuals. Payments will be included in the costing of the project, and finances for the payments will be made available to the
communities and/or farmer groups through the usual flow of funds. For sub-projects involving payment of compensation, monitoring activities
will include confirmation that payments were received by those entitled to them. The compensation process will involve several steps and
would be in accordance with the subproject resettlement plans, significantly;
Organizational procedures for delivery of compensation will be closely aligned with the organizational implementation arrangements for the
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project (LDAHP). Funding will therefore be processed and effected by MoLFD, preferably directly to
the beneficiaries as per the approved RAPs provisions, through the structure created for the implementation of the project.
Compensation will be integrated into the costing and finance payments of the project, and made available to communities and farmers through
the usual funds flow mechanisms while sub-projects compensation payments, monitoring activities will include confirmation by entitled
beneficiaries of receipt of the payments.
The compensation process which would be in accordance with the sub-project resettlement plans will include a number of steps which include
the following:
12.1 CONSULTATION AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
At the conception stage of the project, local communities will initiate the appropriateness of the compensation, while invitations will be
extended to affected individual households to become involved in the design activities of the sub-project.

12.2 NOTIFICATION OF LAND AND OTHER ASSET HOLDERS
Affected individuals and households will be identified during the PRA process and notified. The user will be informed through both a formal
notification in writing and, as many as people are illiterate, by verbal notification delivered in the presence of the village chief or his or her
representative. In addition, the chairman, village chiefs committees individuals who control fishing areas, wild trees, or beehives will
accompany the survey teams to identify sensitive areas.
12.3 DOCUMENTATION OF HOLDINGS AND ASSETS
Meetings with the affected households and individuals will be arranged by the District Liaison Officer in the DACO’s Office to discuss the
compensation process.
The DACO’s office will complete a comprehensive document containing necessary personal information on each affected individual or
household and its members, total land holdings, inventory of assets affected and information for monitoring their situation in future. The
village headmen and the RDC/Ward Development Committee and Some DDCC members will witness the information. These documents which
should be kept current will include a record of surrendered land and all assets and claims.
12.4 ARRANGEMENTS ON COMPENSATION AND PREPARATION OF CONTRACTS
The DACO should draw up contracts listing all property and land to be surrendered and the types of compensation selected i.e. cash and/or in
kind, after all options have been clearly explained to those affected. The contract is read aloud in the presence of village headmen and
members and other local leaders before the agreements are signed.

13 description of the implementation process, linking resettlement implementation to civil works.
The implementation process being describe relates to institutional arrangements and processes needed to put into action the provisions of
World Bank OP 4.12 and this RPF and the resulting subproject resettlement plans. The planning and implementation of resettlement activities
will not be done independently of the formulation and implementation of the ordinary subproject activities. The resettlement implementation
process will, therefore be closely related to the project’s prganizational and implementation arragements.
According to the World Bank OP 4.12 and this RPF, before any project activity is implemented, people who are affected and have been
determined to be entitled to compensation will need to be compensated in accordance to the policy and the resettlement policy framework.
For sub projects involving land acquisition, it is further required that these measures include provision of compensation and of other assistance
required for relocation, prior to displacement, and preparation and provision of resettlement sites with adequate facilities, where required.
In particular, the taking of land and related assets may take place only after compensation has been paid and, where applicable, resettlement
sites and moving allowances have been provided to displaced persons. For sub projects requiring relocation or loss of shelter, the policy further
requires that measures to assist the displaced persons be implemented in accordance with the sub project’s resettlement plan of action. The
measures to ensure compliance with this policy directive would be included in the resettlement plans that would be prepared for each sub
project involving resettlement or compensation.
To this effect it is important to note that the timing mechanism of these measures would ensure that no individual or affected household
would be displaced due to civil works activity before compensation is paid and resettlement sites with adequate facilities are prepared and
provided for to the individual or household affected. Once the resettlement plan is approved by the local and national authorities,the
resettlement plan should be sent to the World Bank for review and approval.

14 PROGRAMS to improve or restore livelihoods and standards of livinG
One paramount principle of the World Bank Safeguards is that where people are negatively affected by project activities, they should be no
worse off, if not better off after the resettlement has taken place.
Where impact on land use is such that the sustainability of people’s livelihoods may be affected, preference will be given to land for land
solutions rather than cash compensation, in conformity with the Zambian legal framework and World Bank OP 4.12.
This also applies to people who are not necessarily physically displaced but who are negatively affected by loss of land. Where necessary,
affected people will be monitored in the rehabilitation of their livelihood, during and after the transition period. Livelihood restoration
measures will be assessed in the RAPs depending on the situation on the ground. They may include micro financial support and skills
development and training.
14.1 MICRO-FINANCIAL SUPPORT
The National Project Cordinators would make arrangements to link PAPs to an identified Micro Financial institution to be provided with soft
loans to purchase agricultural inputs, or to start up micro-enterprises that will link up with planned project activities. Micro-enterprises would
be encouraged that will create synergies with ongoing activities and exploit existing and evolving markets to be created by the implementation
of the subprojects of the LDAHP.
14.2 SKILLS DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING
The displaced people could be employed in road and irrigation infrastructure construction works. Those still land based after resettlement
could be trained in better farm management to produce higher output of high value crops, thereby increasing their income.
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework

FINAL DRAFT Report 93 | P a g e
LDAHP will identify associations/ service providers that could be contracted for work on sub- project activities.
15 DISCRIPTION OF COMPLAINTS AND Grievance redress mechanisms
Once the resettlement plan is approved and individual compensation contracts are signed, affected individuals would have been informed of
the process for expressing dissatisfaction and to seek redress. It is however, anticipated that land acquisition would be avoided or at least minimized, thereby
reducing complaints arising from loss of land or resources as a result of implementing any sub-project activities.
To this effect the grievance procedure will be simple, administered as far as possible at the local level to facilitate access, flexible and open to
various proofs taking into cognizance the fact that most people are illiterate requiring a speedy, just and fair resolution of their grievances.
Therefore, should a complaint arise it shall be addressed as follows:
15.1 GRIEVANCE REDDRESS METHODS
15.1.1 Provincial and District Administration Method
� (i) The local community or Village Development Committee (VDC), Ward Development Committee or Farmer Group Sub-project
Committee would discuss the complaint and try to resolve the matter.
(ii) The discussion should be reported to the relevant committee of the Local District Council for action.
� (iii) If the District Council cannot resolve the matter then it can be referred to the District Development Coordinating Committee who
should make a decision on the matter.
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 94 | P a g e
� (iv) If the DDCC cannot resolve the matter then it can be referred to the PDCC for action.
� (v) If the matter cannot be resolved at the PDCC then it should be referred to the local magistrate.
� (vi) If the local magistrate cannot resolve the matter, then it shall be referred to the high court whose decision on the matter shall be
final.
15.1.2 The Ministry Of Livestock & Fisheries Development (MoLFD) and the Local Courts Systems Method
MoLFD and the Local Court System in the sub-project areas shall deal with all grievances concerning levels of compensation, and non-
fulfillment of contracts.
Affected individuals and households should be informed and be made familiar with the local courts grievance redress process well before the
individual compensation and Resettlement Action Plans are approved and individual contracts signed.
Valid claims shall be compensated after verification by the DACO’s office (MoLFD), and the Village Headman/Ward Councilor.
The Local Court’s shall deal with cases of rejected complaints if the matter cannot be resolved at local community level. Unresolved cases
should be referred to the Local Magistrate Court, and if not resolved at that level then they shall be referred to the High Court for final decision
on the matter. Courts of law should be the last resort, triggered only if amicable resolution of the grievances cannot be obtained at community
level.
15.1.3 Local Government Organs Method
To facilitate amicable resolutions on local conflicts, the grievance redress mechanisms shall make provisions for the following:-
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 95 | P a g e
� Formation of complaints committee at the sub-project level under the chairmanship of the Ward Councilor. whose membership should
consist of representatives of the affected persons, local NGO’s, the Chiefs representative and the DACO’s office. The committee shall be
established as soon as RAP preparations start, in order to cater for claims at an early stage because disputes can arise from any census
operation.
� Any complaint can be submitted to the committee. After verification of the complaint by field visit, the concerned parties
should be brought together to resolve the matter amicably. If not resolved, either the administrative or local courts system already
described can be applied.
As most of the affected people in the project area are poor and un-educated, the grievance procedures should be simple, accessible, flexible,
just, fair and capable of being administered properly with minimum delay. In this regard, the MoLFD representative, the Lands Department,
The District Commissioner’s office and the Local Authorities in the area shall keep updated records of entitlements and compensation claims in
the project areas, which records shall be consulted to validate claims.
The grievance procedure shall give the affected people up to the end of the next full agricultural season after surrendering their assets, to set-
forth their cases.
Community Representatives and affected peoples’ representatives will be part of the contracts to be signed by the affected persons, and all
complaints of non fulfilment of contracts, levels of compensation and seizure of assets should be addressed to the Local and District Authorities
in the area either in person or in writing.

Given the participatory process in which this RPF has been prepared, it is expected that the affected individuals, households and communities
associated with the conception, design and location of the sub-project activities would have expressed their grievance or dissatisfaction to the
relevant authorities prior to the RAP’s approvals. In this regard, it is also expected that MoLFD would sensitize the affected persons and
communities on Zambia’s grievance redress mechanisms which incorporate two integrated approaches namely the District and Provincial
Administrative structures; and the Local Government structures, Ward/Village Council, Organisational Structures including laid down
Committees as already explained.
Aggrieved parties can air their grievances through the District, Provincial Local Government organs; through Local Government organs such as
Village, Wards, and Chiefdoms or through LDAHP institutional structure. The grievances shall be transmitted to the District Project
Office/DACO, facilitation team, District Commissioner, or to the District Provincial or national steering committee of the project.

16 BUDGET AND FUNDING ARRANGEMENTS
At present the location of sites for various civil works has not been finalized. Given the localized and moderate impacts of the works, land
acquisition and involuntary resettlement is not expected to be significant. The four categories of resettlement costs that must be estimated
when developing Resettlement Action Plans budget once the impacts have been identified and located are:- administrative, compensation,
land acquisition (surveying, resettlement planning and valuation), and Monitoring and Evaluation costs.
16.1 ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS
These include salaries for staff, transportation, office administrative costs (stationery, electricity, water, rentals, communications etc),
operating supplies and other miscellaneous costs.
16.2 COMPENSATION COSTS
These are to be estimated by determining the number of persons, type and value of assets likely to be affected by project activities. The
Government will finance these costs out of its own budget.

16.3 RAPS, PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION COSTS
The following costs will have to be estimated under this category when the relevant information is available after the conclusion of site specific
socio-economic studies including information on specific impacts, individual and household incomes and numbers of affected persons. Relevant
costs are those for inventory assessments, land acquisition, preparation and implementation of Resettlement Action Plans, surveying and
valuation of properties and resettling people on alternative lands, buying land and developing it into a habitable settlement. should be
determined as well. Also to be budgeted for are community development activities such as provision of public services, access roads, markets,

17 description of MECHANISMS FOR CONSULTATION with, and participation of affected people IN
PLANNING, IMPLEMENTATION AND MONITORING OF THE RAP.
The consultation that was carried out for the preparation of the safeguards instruments emphasised the importance of beneficiary
involvement. At meetings held in proposed project sites, stakeholders were not fully aware of the project and expressed desire for improved
communications with project proponents throughout the project cycle. Stakeholders emphasised the need for involvement of traditional land
authorities in project site identification to ensure that negative social impacts are minimised as well as ensuring that the selected locations for
proposed livestock services are appropriate. They also stressed the need for the project to minimise social impacts such as the need to displace
some families that the project is supposed to benefit.
Public consultation and participation are essential because they afford potential displaced persons the opportunity to contribute to both the
design and implementation of the sub project activities in order to promote local ownership of the project for it to be successful.
The sub projects would be initiated, planned, designed, implemented and operated (i.e. demand driven) by communities and/or farmer groups
who by their very nature are members of the rural community and therefore, are an integral part of and play a crucial role in the community
that may be effected. Furthermore, the local community have invaluable local knowledge about conditions needed for the project’s successful design and
implementation.
Therefore, this RPF advocates for extensive public consultation and participation of affected individuals/ households in the planning and implementation of the RAP.
Consultation should be a continuous process throughout all stages of the project cycle namely:-
� Project inception and planning, involving choices of alternative designs;
� Screening process and feasibility study, involving assessment of project impacts etc.;
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 100 | P a g e
� Preparation of sub-project designs involving resettlement strategies and options, choice of resettlement sites and timing of relocation;
� Planning of resettlement and compensation packages involving decisions on compensation rates, eligibility, entitlements, etc.;
� Drafting and reading/signing of the compensation contracts;
� Payment of compensations; and
� Resettlement activities involving the development of opportunities and initiatives, development of procedures for grievance redress as
well as mechanisms for monitoring.
This RPF further recommends that public consultation and participation shall take place through various forms and media, including meetings, radio, television, request for
written proposals/comments, completion of questionnaires/application forms and explanations of the project ideas and requirements by stakeholders at national,
Provincial and District levels. This shall be handled by the Project Implementation Unit. Monitoring of this process would be through the overall monitoring

18 Arrangements for Monitoring AND EVALUATION
In order to assess whether the goals of the resettlement and compensation plan are being met, a monitoring plan will be required. This
monitoring plan will indicate parameters to be monitored, institute monitoring milestones and provide resources including responsible persons
or institutions to carry out the monitoring activities.
To be effective, the implementation of this RPFs provisions will require the involvement of the affected communities in the discussions on the development of the necessary
measures needed to deal with identified problems and implement the planned activities. In this regard community members shall be involved in the monitoring of the
project’s activities throughout its planning cycle starting from inception through to impact assessment.
Monitoring and evaluation are important in the implementation of a project because:they provide feedback needed to detect success
challenges and opportunities in the development process. In the case of this RPF, monitoring would ensure compliance with the RAPs
provisions. In addition, monitoring would provide regular feedback, from stakeholders such as management staff and beneficiaries, needed for
the efficient and effective management LDAHP project activities. Furthermore, responses to RAP implementation challenges would be timely if
feedback is received regularly.
However, for RPF and RAPs to be implemented efficiently, effectively and to be responsive to issues raised in the feedback meetings, reports
etc., a cost effective monitoring system with adequate human, financial and material resources needs to be put in place in order to successfully
improve the implementation of sub-project activities.

FINAL DRAFT Report 102 | P a g e
18.1 SCOPE OF MONITORING
Depending on the complexity of the RAPs sub-project activities, the monitoring systems to be used in the implementation of the RPF and the
RAPs needs to consider the following if the desired project objectives are to be realised:
� Availability of the resources and expertise for monitoring; and
� The degree of stakeholders’ and cooperating partners’ willingness to be involved and participate in the monitoring arrangements.
18.1.1 Performance monitoring
To enable the sub-project proponents to measure progress against set targets, performance monitoring will be carried out as an internal
function by the organization(s) responsible for implementing the RAPs. In this regard performance monitoring reports will be prepared at
monthly, quarterly, half yearly and yearly intervals depending on the issues to be monitored. Performance targets in this regard will include:
� Public meetings held,
� Compensation disbursed,
� Census surveys completed,
� Assets inventories and socio-economic studies completed,
� Proportion of displaced people relocated; and
� Income restoration and development activities initiated.
If the volume of work involved in performance monitoring is beyond the capacity of the RAP’s implementing organization to carry out, then the
monitoring function could be sub-contracted to a consultant.

FINAL DRAFT Report 103 | P a g e
18.1.2 Impact monitoring
Impact monitoring to be undertaken by the sub-project proponent, or an independent agency, will provide assessments of the effectiveness of
the RAP strategies in meeting the affected populations needs. Quantitative and qualitative indicators will be used to compare the effects of the
RAPs activities with the baseline conditions of the affected populations before and after the resettlement exercises. The satisfaction of the
affected population with the resettlement initiatives will be assessed for their adequacy or deficiency, while the census assets inventories and
socio-economic studies will constitute the baseline for the affected population, for the purpose of evaluating impact assessment.
18.1.3 Completion Audit
Completion audit(s) shall be carried out after the completion of all RAP inputs. The main aim of the completion audit or external monitoring is
to assess how far the sub-project proponents’ efforts have gone in the restoration of the living standards of the affected population; and also
assess whether the strategies for the restoration for the living standards of the affected people have been properly conceived and
implemented.
The following are some of the several issues which need to be verified in the external monitoring:
� Physical inputs committed in the RAPs
� Delivery of services provided in the RAPs
� The effects of Mitigation measures prescribed in the RAPs
� The affected populations and host populations social economic status after displacement measured against the baseline conditions after
the exercise.
18.2 DEVELOPMENT OF VERIFIABLE INDICATORS
Livestock Development and Animal Health Project. Resettlement Policy Framework
Volume II.
FINAL DRAFT Report 104 | P a g e
In order to ensure that monitoring the impacts of the compensation and resettlement activities for the LDAHP project are done successfully , a
number of objectively verifiable indicators (OVI’s) shall be used. These indicators will be targeted at quantitatively measuring the physical and
socio-economic status of the PAPs, to determine and guide improvement in their social wellbeing. Therefore, monitoring indicators to be used
for the RAP will have to be developed to respond to specific site conditions. As a general guide, The following Table 5 provides a set of
indicators which can be used.

18.2.1 Indicators to determine status of affected people
A number of indicators would be used in order to determine the status of affected people (land being used compared to before, standard of
house compared to before, level of participation in project activities compared to before, how many kids in school compared to before, health
standards, etc). Therefore, the resettlement and compensation plans will set two major socioeconomic goals by which to evaluate its success:
• Affected individuals, households, and communities are able to maintain
their pre-project standard of living, and even improve on it; and
• The local communities remain supportive of the project.
18.2.2 Indicators to measure RAP performances
In order to access whether these goals are met, the resettlement and compensation plans will indicate parameters to be monitored, institute
monitoring milestones and provide resources necessary to carry out the monitoring activities.
The following parameters and verifiable indicators will be used to measure the resettlement and compensation plans performance;
•
• .
• The Local Governments will maintain a complete database on every
individual impacted by the sub-project land use requirements including relocation/resettlement and compensation, land impacts
or damages
• Number of individuals receiving cash or a combination of cash and inkind compensation,
• Number of payments made in a month/ year.

18.2.3 Indicators to monitor and evaluate implementation of RAPs
Financial records will be maintained by the Local Governments and the executing agencies to permit calculation of the final cost of
resettlement and compensation per individual or household. Each individual receiving compensation will have a dossier containing;
• Individual bio-data information,
• Number of people s/he claims as household dependents
• Amount of land available to the individual or household when the dossier is opened.
Additional information will be acquired for individuals eligible for resettlement/compensation:
• Level of income and of production
• Inventory of material assets and improvements in land, and
• Debts.

monitoring processes at all stages as follows:
18.3.1 Screening and Preliminary Assessments
People affected will be consulted and participate in the required assessments once the proponent of a sub-project has identified the need to
undertake an environmental study. In this regard meetings will be held with stakeholders including affected groups to discuss potential
resettlement issues.
18.3.2 Social and Economic Baseline Census
The affected community members and other interested parties will be involved in the planning and implementation of social and economic
studies needed for the preparation of the RAPs.
18.3.3 Preparation and Implementation of Resettlement Action Plans
In the process of preparing and implementing the RAPs, representatives of the affected people will input their concerns in the processes
through discussions on the potential costs of implementing the planned activities, enforcing the RPF provisions, mitigating impacts,
rescheduling where necessary, and timing of RAP activities.
